JAKARTA - After undergoing knee surgery, Paul Pogba's condition is getting better. He recovered faster than expected and has the opportunity to rejoin Juventus in the near future.

The former Manchester United player decided to return to Turin, Juventus headquarters, on a free transfer after his contract at Old Trafford expired. However, just undergoing pre-season with the Bianconeri, the French midfielder had to be injured.

Pogba suffered a right knee injury while training with Massimiliano Allegri's side in the United States. The injury turned out to be severe enough that the 29-year-old midfielder had to undergo a meniscus surgery on his right knee.

This situation made Pogba estimated to be absent for two months. Pogba is also feared to miss the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

However, quoted from La Gazzetta dello Sport, these concerns slowly began to be eradicated by Pogba as his condition began to improve. The source said Pogba had entered the final stages of healing and was expected to return to training next weekend.

Although things are starting to improve and can train, it looks like Pogba will not be dropped when the Bianconeri face Empoli next weekend. Most likely, Pogba is just really ready to appear for Juventus on his way to Benfica's headquarters in the Champions League on Tuesday, October 25.

This situation is certainly good news for the Old Lady, because Pogba's return will add strength in Juventus' midfield. Pogba's presence when he recovers is certainly expected to revive Juventus, which was slumping earlier this season.

Juventus are still mired in Serie A by being ranked seventh. In the Champions League, their position is also on the brink after they are currently still in third place in Group H below Paris Saint-Germain and Benfica.
