Serie A: Tardelli attacks Pogba over his absence at Juve

World Cup winner Marco Tardelli has launched an attack on Paul Pogba over his absence at Juventus.

Pogba is yet to play for Juve since arriving in the summer from Manchester United due to a preseason knee injury.

“Pogba hasn’t played since April 2022, when he was still at Manchester United,” 1982 World Cup winner Tardelli told RAI programme 90 Minuto.

“He is now a problem for Juve, we don’t know when he’ll return or what he intends to do. Pogba goes off skiing while his teammates are there battling against huge issues.

“He doesn’t have knee surgery when the club asks, but only when he decides, because he’s worried about the World Cup with France.

“Now Pogba is a big problem that the Bianconeri need to resolve. This whole situation also shows how Juventus don’t have very clear ideas on their general direction.”

Max Allegri also seems to be irritated with Pogba and said in yesterday’s press conference that he has no idea when the Frenchman will be back on the field, so urges media to stop asking him.

“In my view, Allegri needs to step in here and do something, because it is not possible to have a player who is just sitting there getting paid for doing nothing,” added Tardelli.

“His behaviour towards his teammates isn’t fair either. The whole situation irritates me.”
