Poal Pogba stands as a striking example of prodigious talent hampered by persistent injuries
Paul Pogba has started only a single match since returning to Juventus in the summer of 2022. He exited the field after 23 minutes with a thigh problem, taking off his shirt to hide his tears. That injury abruptly ended his season in Italy.
Questions linger about whether Pogba can reclaim the form he showed during his early days in Turin. In his initial spell at the club, he often struggled to fit into various managerial systems at Manchester United, a period also marred by muscle and ankle injuries that periodically sidelined him from peak performance.
What remains undeniable is Pogba’s immense talent and the once-elevated promise of being among the world’s best midfielders. Yet he is not the first high-profile star whose career has been curtailed by injuries.
