October 19, (THEWILL) – On Tuesday, just over a month before France’s opening World Cup match, Paul Pogba resumed training with Italian side Juventus.
The midfielder sustained a lesion to the lateral meniscus in his right knee, as his second stint with Juve got off to a terrible start with the injury preventing him from playing in a competitive game for the Bianconeri after exciting Manchester United.
However, Pogba returned to training with his Juve teammates on Tuesday, with the club confirming he participated “partially” in the session while being photographed in action.
With the Qatar-hosted competition five weeks away, his comeback is good news for both the Serie A heavyweights and France as the Cup holders begin their World Cup defence against Australia in Qatar.
Les Bleus head coach Didier Deschamps said he would need to be certain the 29-year-old is completely fit before including him in his team for the World Cup.
