Paul Pogba, the situation has worsened

Paul Pogba’s condition

Roberto Rossi, the surgeon who operated on Paul Pogba on Monday, clarified the situation related to the French midfielder’s injury.

“The injury to the external meniscus was complex because the tissue was fragmented. The conservative therapy? Let’s say it didn’t work. In fact, the injury worsened. In agreement also with the Juventus doctors, we have indicated eight weeks as the time needed for Pogba to rejoin the team and return to training with the group. This is the estimated time, then we need to evaluate the condition and reactions when he starts to force.”

“Even if we had wanted to perform a suture of the ruptured meniscus, there were no conditions to be able to do it: it was no longer repairable. Only a meniscectomy could be performed. After all, the player had already been examined by two luminaries in the field, one consulting directly in the United States and another in France: in both cases the surgeons had given an indication for surgery,” he explained to Tuttosport.
