JAKARTA - An important decision was taken by Paul Pogba in order to maintain the hope of playing for the French national team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Pogba has opted not to undergo surgery for a knee injury.

In the 2022/2023 season, Pogba officially rejoined Juventus after his contract at Manchester United expired. When he returned to Turin, Pogba actually made the French national team worried because he suffered an injury.

Quoted from Italian Football, Wednesday, the injury suffered by Pogba in the right knee. This unfortunate incident happened to Pogba in training last month while on Juventus' tour of the United States.

Pogba visited a specialist consultant in Lyon on Tuesday and was given the decision that he could avoid surgery. Instead, Pogba will undergo conservative treatment for five weeks.

This knee problem actually makes Pogba have to be out for more than a month. But by choosing the fastest recovery option, he is predicted to be back in the first 10 days of September.

Before finally choosing the option above, Pogba should have undergone surgery which is the most likely option. Surgery was performed to remove a piece of the meniscus, which will keep Pogba out for 40 to 60 days.

Another option is to suture the wound, but that will take a long four to five months. While this decision could make him unable to participate in the Qatar World Cup in November.

But, later, Pogba chose another path by undergoing conservative treatment. This is the right choice, because it will open up opportunities for him to participate in defending the French national team in Qatar.

This conservative treatment will last for five weeks involving three people in the gym and then the remaining two on the field for recovery.
