Popgba returned to Juventus in the summer of 2022 after Manchester United terminated his contract in June that year. At that moment, Pogba thanked all the people in the club, saying that he had a lot of  “beautiful moments” with the Old Trafford-based club.

Two weeks after being announced returning to Turin, Pogba suffered an injury setback, reporting to the medical team about the pain in his knee. The injury made him unavailable for the pre-season in Dallas, Texas.

“After complaining of pain in his right knee, Paul Pogba underwent radiological examinations that revealed a lesion of the lateral meniscus,” the club explained via Goal. “In the next few hours he will undergo a specialist orthopaedic consultation. Therefore, in order to continue treatment, he is not taking part in the trip to Dallas.” 

The announcement of Pogba failing the drug test initially came in November last year. The player’s representative Rafaela Pimenta said that her side are examining the case, urging that Pogba would never cheat over his fitness.

“We are waiting for the counter analysis and until then we can’t say anything. The certain thing is that Paul Pogba never wanted to break the rules,” Pimenta said.

In October 7, Nado Italia announced that Pogba violated the the rules of using a prohibited substance. Italian anti-doping body confirmed Pogba’s B sample tested positive.
