May be considered for World Cup squad

WHAT HAPPENED? Pogba suffered a knee injury only two weeks after returning to Juventus in the summer. He has since been recovering from the problem and his agent has now provided a positive update on his return.

WHAT THEY SAID: Pimenta told Tuttosport, "Luckily now it's over, he will soon be back on the pitch for his Juve."

She added: "He is enthusiastic. Paul's superpower is to overcome difficulties with incredible strength and great positivity. There was a moment, a few weeks ago, when he said to me, 'Rafaela, that's enough. I don't want to think about anything anymore, I focus on my knee and recovery because I want to play again.' And so he did."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: There were serious doubts about whether Pogba would be able to take part in France's title-defending campaign at the World Cup. However, if he can hit the ground running upon his return to club action, he may still make Didier Deschamps' squad.
