Pogba ready to return and play in the World Cup
Rafaela Pimenta, Paul Pogba's agent, spoke about the Juve man's physical condition, who wil soon be back in training and will be available for the World Cup for France.
Good news for Paul Pogba. The Juventus midfielder is already back with the squad after managing to shake off a nasty injury which has made him unable to play this season for his club and the French national team.
After receiving treatment for his knee problem, it is hoped that Pogba will be back for Juventus the weekend of the 6th November, for the match against Inter. What is more, if everything goes according to plan, the 29 year old will be able to play the World Cup no problems.
And his agent, Rafaela Pimenta, wanted to talk specifically about Pogba's situation in an interview with 'Tuttosport': "The nightmare is over, he is back to lead the way with Juventus. What Pogba does best is come back from difficult situations positively and menetally strong. A few weeks ago he said to me: 'Rafael enough's enough. I don't want to think about anything else, I'm focused on my knee because I want to get back playing".
What is more, Pimenta, spoke about the medical blackmail that exists: "Experiencing tense situations and blackmail is not uncommon for footballers. They get threats because they are in the limelight. I have seen it all. There are players who are scared to report it because they are embarrassed or they don't want to damage their image, so they stay silent and experience extreme stress, risking everything including getting injuries. When Paul decided to ask for help, the situation improved and he understood that there was a way out".
Pimenta also defended Pogba's choice to not get surgery. "It's his knee. Juventus were right to let him decide. He was convinced that with this more conservative approach to his recovery, he was going to get back to fitness quicker, and fortunately it has worked out that way. He'll be back soon".
