Massimiliano Allegri was used to having to do without the services of Paul Pogba due to his injuries. From now on, he can no longer summon him because of his positive test for testosterone.
Temporarily suspended by Juventus Turin due to his positive test for testosterone at the end of August, Paul Pogba could once again be sidelined for a certain period of time. The result of the second opinion that he requested will be known on September 20 according to the media Sky Sport Italia. In the event of another positive result, he could be dismissed by the Old Lady.
Questioned about this delicate subject, Massimiliano Allegri chose to kick in. “I’m sorry for Pogba, but I can’t add anything else too because there is a procedure underway. I only know that he won’t be there tomorrow against Lazio and I don’t think he will be there against Sassuolo either.”, declared the Italian technician this Friday at a press conference. The native of Lagny-sur-Marne could face a sanction of between two and four years of suspension if the result of the counter-analysis of the sample taken is again positive.

Embroiled in this dark doping affair, the former Manchester United player finds himself today in Paris court for another reason. He is confronted by at least five of his relatives, childhood friends or acquaintances. They are suspected of having played a role in his kidnapping in March 2022, where two robbers demanded 13 million euros from him to ensure his safety.
