No one loves injury in football, managers abhors their players (especially key players) getting injured, and no player want to miss games due to injuries.
Last season in the premier league when Leicester City won the title, one eminent factor that contributed to their triumph is the fact that their players were injury-free (while the other big teams lost a handful of players to injuries)
Chelsea are the outstanding team this current campaign in the premier league, and one of the contributing factors is that Antonio Conte keeps using the same starting XI in each game, devoid of injuries.
No manager want to lose their vital players to injuries, and Jose Mourinho too won’t desire that. Nevertheless, one of his star players Paul Pogba limped out of his side’s win over Russian side Rostov on Thursday.
And the hamstring injury the world-record signing picked up looked set to rule him out for three weeks.
United’s Portuguese boss Jose Mourinho confirmed that Pogba will miss tomorrow’s game with Middlesbrough, and won’t be available for international duties for France.
Yahoo Sport however reported that a medical examination conducted on Pogba yesterday revealed that he has stressed his muscle rather than ruptured it.
Going therefore with that diagnosis, we can expect him to feature for Jose Mourinho’s side when they meet with West Brom on Saturday April 1.
THE CHELSEA GAME PLAYED A PART?
It was also said that United staff believe Monday night’s delayed return from Chelsea contributed to the 24-year-old’s injury.
The red devils team were due to fly back from London, however issues with two jets meant they were forced to return to the north.
We wish the Frenchman quick recovery.
