Paul Pogba, the French midfielder enjoying a breakthrough season with Juventus in Serie A, will not be part of the squad for their match against Pescara due to disciplinary reasons. Pogba arrived late for training twice, leading coach Antonio Conte to omit him from the team for the upcoming game.
The 19-year-old midfielder has been in good form, scoring two goals in the last four matches, and has become an important player for Juventus. However, the club is strict about adhering to regulations, and Pogba’s tardiness has resulted in him being dropped from the squad.
Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, explained that the player was delayed due to administrative paperwork required by the club. Raiola acknowledged the mistake, and Pogba is reportedly disappointed with the situation. Despite this incident, Raiola emphasized that there are no problems in the relationship between Pogba and Juventus, and the club’s decision to be transparent about the absence from the squad was respected.
Trained at Le Havre and formerly with Manchester United, Pogba has caught the attention of national team coach Didier Deschamps. However, Deschamps mentioned that Pogba still has steps to take before earning a call-up to the senior national team. For now, Pogba will continue to represent the French under-20 team.
