Sad start to the year for Paul Pogba: the French international will undergo an operation to treat a recurrent ankle injury. He will miss another competition for at least a month, Manchester United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Wednesday.
A return 10 days ago though
The midfielder of “MU” (26) had already missed almost three months due to the same injury and had only returned 10 days ago against Watford (2-0 defeat). He also came out of the bench against Newcastle (4-1 victory) on December 26 but was forfeited Wednesday against Arsenal. "We did exams, it's nothing major but it's something we need to deal with," said Solskjaer after the Red Devils' defeat on the Gunners field (2-0) . The technician had already specified before the meeting that Pogba felt "discomfort" at this ankle and that he would be absent for several weeks.
Real Madrid still interested
The situation is far from ideal at six months from Euro-2020 for the world champion with the Blues in 2018. He has only been tenured six times in all competitions for Manchester United since the start of the season. In addition, this relapse comes when the winter transfer window opens and Real Madrid remains interested in Pogba, who had expressed his wishes before the season. But a transfer of the Frenchman this winter seems unlikely.
Paul Pogba was injured initially at the end of August during a match against Southampton on the 4th day that he had limped before withdrawing a few days later for the two qualifying matches for Euro-2020 with France against Albania and Andorra. He played a League Cup match against a 3rd division team in September, but he appeared to worsen his injury on that occasion and had not replayed until December 22.
His recovery has been widely commented on by the English press who laughed at his photos with Zinedine Zidane in Dubai, where he was treating himself, or videos where he danced at his brother's wedding, a few days before his trainer said he was "sick ".
