Man Utd star Paul Pogba explains when he will return from injury after Bournemouth defeat
Manchester United star Paul Pogba has delivered an injury update for fans, and has revealed that he’s still a few weeks away from recovery, after the Red Devils lost 1-0 against Bournemouth this weekend.
“I will still be under plaster for 10 days,” Pogba told RMT Sport. “After, I still have two weeks of rehabilitation.”
Speaking after United’s latest defeat to Bournemouth, Pogba admitted that it’s tough to watch your team lose while you’re injured.
“It is the worst. After, it is not easy to see my team-mates go to training or on the field.
“You train inside, you want to return to help your team but when you are injured it is not easy [psychologically]. The most important thing is to heal properly.”

Pogba picked up the ankle injury while on international duty with France at the start of September.
He played a full 90 minutes for United against Southampton before leaving to join his international team-mates.
But, he was forced to return to Manchester before France’s first match of the break.
He missed two league fixtures in subsequent weeks, against Leicester City and West Ham United.

Pogba returned to action for the 1-1 draw against Arsenal at Old Trafford at the end of September.
But, the ankle injury flared up once again, and he’s missed all four of United’s league fixtures since.
Solskjaer’s side are 10th in the Premier League table after 11 matches, having won just three of their games.
Their next two league matches will be against Brighton, and Sheffield United.
