THE BIGGER PICTURE: Pogba has appeared in only 12 matches for the Bianconeri since joining them as a free agent in 2022 after leaving Manchester United. A serious knee problem kept him out of action for a prolonged period and even forced him to go under the knife. He missed the team's entire pre-season in the U.S. this year.
