Allegri: Paul Pogba is still “not ready” for action with Juventus'!

Paul Pogba is still “not ready” for action with Juventus, Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed, with the midfielder set to sit out the club's U.S. tour. The France international midfielder has endured an injury-ravaged return to Turin since rejoining the Bianconeri as a free agent in 2022. The ex-Manchester United star was restricted to just 10 appearances last season due to a number of fitness issues – with an early knee problem requiring surgery. Pogba is with the Juve squad in the United States, as they step up preparations for 2023-24, but he will not be involved in friendly outings against AC Milan and Real Madrid.

Pogba is with Juventus in the United States, as they ramp up their preparations for the 2023-24 season, but he will not participate in friendlies against AC Milan and Real Madrid. Allegri has told reporters when asked for an update on Pogba: “I don’t think Paul will play during the tournée. Practically, he has never trained with the group. He is working separately. He is doing well, but even last season there were times he was improving and then stopped. Seeing him running, I can say he’s slightly improving, but he’s still not ready to play. We have to wait at least one month before seeing him with the team.”
