French international Paul Pogba, who plays for Juventus, Benfica’s opponents in the Champions League, decided to undergo surgery on his right knee and is at risk of missing the World Cup in Qatar.
Pogba’s decision was confirmed by the coach of the Turin team, Massimiliano Allegri. ‘Pogba started training this morning but stopped and decided to go on to surgery’said the coach, on the eve of the match against Paris Saint-Germain for the Champions League.
Pogba, who had been injured in the lateral meniscus of his right knee since July, initially opted not to have surgery and looked for other approaches to his problem to improve his chances of being selected for the World Cup, which will run from November 20 to December 18. to keep intact.
The player had started the game this week at the club’s training ground in Turin.
At the beginning of August, the choice of treatment was conservative therapy, scheduled for five weeks, with part in the pool and gym and the other in athletic work on the floor.
Pogba, a fixture in Didier Deschamps’ squad (he has 91 teams and 11 goals), has not played for the Blues since March 29, when they defeated South Africa 5-0.
