Juventus allowed Paul Pogba to decide what treatment method he wanted to use and fix his knee issue after he was injured in preseason.
The Frenchman had only joined the club for a few weeks before he injured his knee, and the Bianconeri were keen to know the recovery options he had.
The most recommended one was surgery, but he risked missing out on the World Cup because it will need a long recovery period.
The Frenchman then chose an alternative therapy, hopeful that it will speed up his return to action.
However, that hasn’t worked. Instead, it has worsened the situation, and he has finally undergone surgery.
If he had taken this route earlier, he would have been a month into recovery now.
A report on Tuttojuve reveals the decision to delay surgery has irritated Juventus.
They are focused on getting him back when they can, but they are not happy that one of their highest paid players will effectively miss the first half of the season.
Juve FC Says
It is painful that an important signing cannot be useful to the club for as much as six months.
We signed Pogba to fill a void in our team, and we should not be happy that he is spending the first few months of his deal on the treatment table.
While it sucks that we are essentially paying him to be injured, it does allows us to use Miretti & hopefully Fagoli to see just how good they are. So far I have been impressed with Miretti. Who knows maybe we won’t need him in the long run & stick with our homegrown youth. I know what a novel idea.
What are they angry for. It’s one month and when you’re talking about a six month recovery then what’s one more month. Plus they are the ones that gave him the option. You give the guy an option then you get angry when it doesn’t work????
Also, they’re the one who signed him. Even after he has been shown to be injury prone the last few years. If it wasn’t because of their own problems with Mr.Siuuu (juve fans all know those problems) Man U would be laughing and saying “told you so”. They should have stuck with all their young Italian midfielders.
No one at Juve gave him this option. They advised him for the surgery a month ago, but Pogba decided to consult with his own personnel as well as French NT doctors.
This is why Juve board are angry, because they pay him but Pogba listens to others.
