(Reuters) - Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba is likely to miss the rest of the season after the club confirmed on Monday that he had sustained a thigh injury during their 2-0 triumph over Cremonese in Serie A on Sunday.
The Frenchman has struggled with multiple injuries this season and lasted a little over 20 minutes before he injured himself again, leaving the field in tears.According to a club statement, Pogba has been diagnosed with a low-grade lesion of the rectus femoris muscle in his left thigh.
While the club did not provide a specific timeline for Pogba's return, SportMediaset reported that injuries of similar severity typically require a recovery period of around 20 days. Juve's final match of the season is scheduled for June 4 at Udinese in Serie A, making it unlikely that Pogba will return this season.
