Is Paul Pogba’s career at the highest level over? Daniel Riolo answers in the affirmative.
On Monday, Paul Pogba was provisionally suspended after testing positive for testosterone. The French international suffered the latter after the match between Udine and Juventus Turin, counting for the first day of Serie A, during which he did not come into play.
According to Daniel Riolo, the career of the native of Lagny-sur-Marne may already be over. “The situation of failure is there. Pogba at club, we don’t have too many memories of him anymore, even from the Manchester United era. We can say that the last time we saw him play football was at Euro 2021 where he was put back on his feet by the Blues staff. (…) He tried to come back and he immediately got injured. I think he will never be able to come back, his body said no and psychologically endured the ordeal of blackmail”estimated the sports journalist on RMC.

Daniel Riolo is obviously referring to the famous “Pogba affair”, which had already clearly darkened the career of the Turin midfielder. “It’s extremely impactful in one’s life, it’s very difficult to recover from something like that. He himself had said that his recent injuries were the result of his mind. He can’t come back.”, judges the editorialist. In a press release, the Old Lady also announced her provisional suspension.
