Man United: Medical expert issues Paul Pogba training ground reveal
Paul Pogba will likely be fully fit when he returns to Man United despite a foot problem on international duty with France.
That is the view of injury expert Ben Dinnery, who runs the Premier Injuries site and has a background in medicine and data analysis.
Pogba, 29, lasted almost the full 90 minutes as France beat the Ivory Coast 2-1 last Friday (25 March).
But as relayed by the Manchester Evening News last Sunday (27 March), the midfielder has now suffered a contusion in his left foot.
It is unclear whether the World Cup winner will be available for Les Bleus’ friendly meeting with South Africa tonight (29 March).
Dinnery revealed that Pogba had not trained ahead of the clash but that he is likely to have recovered by the time he returns to Manchester.
“He hasn’t trained with the group,” he told Football Insider‘s Adam Williams.
“But the positive is that he is still part of the squad and hasn’t returned to the club. That’s an indication that it’s a fairly minor issue.
“The fact that he is with the squad would suggest that it isn’t too serious. There is still a chance he could take part in the friendly against South Africa.
“If he does play, fans will want him to get through that unscathed so he will be ready when he returns to United.”
Pogba, who is out of contract at the end of the season, has scored one goal and supplied nine assists in 23 appearances this term.
His United and France teammate Raphael Varane also picked up a foot injury in the clash against the Ivory Coast.
