Paul Pogba and wife Zulay all smiles on Italian 'getaway' despite Juventus star's four-year doping suspension

The World Cup-winning midfielder has been stung with a four-year ban from football after failing a drugs test in 2023. The 31-year-old is appealing that ruling, but faces an uncertain future at club level with Juventus and as an international performer.

Pogba is doing his best to stay positive, while being prevented from doing his day job, and is making the most of opportunities to distract himself from the pressure that has been lumped onto his shoulders by doping authorities in Italy.

Pogba has used some of his spare time to enjoy a much-needed vacation with his partner. They have not left Italy, but are making the most of a sunshine break. The pair have been cosying up on a series of boat trips, while also mingling with fans when making their way back to dry land.

Juventus have Pogba tied to a contract through to 2026 and have opted against terminating that agreement as they wait on the outcome of an appeal against a lengthy suspension. It remains to be seen if or when the former Manchester United star will be cleared to take to the field again.
