Massimiliano Allegri, the head coach of Juventus, has acknowledged that he does not know when Paul Pogba will make his recovery.
After returning to Turin as a free agent before the start of the season, Paul Pogba is yet to make his club debut. He had a knee injury during preseason that prevented him from participating in France’s World Cup.
Originally anticipated to make his comeback for the match against Serie A leaders Napoli on January 13, the former Manchester United midfielder’s return appears to have been postponed.

In remarks made during Saturday’s 2-0 victory against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium, Allegri made it obvious he is eager to avoid any inquiries over Paul Pogba’s rehabilitation and did not provide a timeline.
“Paul still hasn’t been consistent in training, so I cannot say when he’ll be back,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“This is the truth and it’s important to say that, otherwise every day we’ll get these questions on how Pogba’s recovery is going. He hasn’t yet started running in training.”
Juventus has other injury concerns before the start of the season, but Allegri anticipates that the majority of his team will be prepared for the match against Cremonese on January 4.
