French midfielder Paul Pogba has suffered a new setback in his rehabilitation, further delaying his much-anticipated return to professional football. According to reports from Groupe Nice-Matin, the 31-year-old experienced a minor “hiccup” in his recovery process, which could push back his comeback by around nine days.
Pogba, who has been battling injuries and fitness concerns over the past few years, was nearing the final stages of his rehab and had been working hard to regain full match fitness. However, this latest issue has forced him to pause his progress once again, leaving fans disappointed as they await his return to the pitch.
The Frenchman’s absence from competitive football has been one of the sport’s most unfortunate stories in recent times. Once regarded as one of the most gifted midfielders of his generation, Pogba has struggled with consistent injury troubles that have hampered his career since his return to Serie A from Manchester United.
