More trouble for Paul Pogba: now the World Cup is at risk

Now the World Cup is at risk

Paul Pogba’s presence at the World Cup to be played in Qatar has become decidedly at risk. This is confirmed by L’Equipe, according to which Didier Deschamps is questioning after yet another stoppage for the Juventus midfielder, who while training in Vinovo suffered a thigh problem.

Pogba is expected to be out for another 10 days. And in ten days the helmsman of the transalpines, himself a former midfielder of the Old Lady (as well as, for a brief period, his coach as well), will announce the names of the summoned players for the rainbow review.

For the second edition in a row, no Italy at the final stage of the rainbow review. Failure to qualify, however, did not cost Roberto Mancini his job, with whom, it should be remembered, the Azzurri triumphed in the European championships whose semifinals and finals were played in London’s legendary Wembley Stadium. Italy has won the World Cup four times, in 1934, 1938, 1982, with Enzo Bearzot at the helm, and in 2006, when the national team’s coach was Marcello Lippi, beating Raymond Domenech’s France in the final on penalties.
