Paul Pogba has not been called up for Europa League game vs Freiburg due to disciplinary reasons

Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has been left out of the squad to face Freiburg in the Europa League due to disciplinary reasons.

However, his return to Serie A has not gone well so far as injury has prevented the midfielder from playing for most of the current season.

In addition, he attracted criticism after being spotted on a skiing holiday whilst recovering from his knee injury.

This will not go down well amongst the Juventus faithful as they have been getting agitated about Pogba’s lack of action and discipline.

Recently, former Juventus defender Marco Tardelli labelled Pogba as a big problem for the club.

He said: “Pogba hasn't played since April 2022, when he was still in Manchester. It's now a problem for Juve, we don't know when he'll return and we don't know what he wants to do.

“Today Pogba is a big problem that the Bianconeri must solve. This situation also demonstrates that Juve do not have clear enough ideas.

“[Massimiliano] Allegri has to take over for me, it's not possible to have a player like that on the payroll. His behaviour towards his teammates isn't fair either, it annoys me.”

So far this season, Pogba has made two appearances, 21 minutes in the 4-2 win over Torino and 14 minutes during the 1-0 defeat by Roma last weekend.

Can Pogba win over the Juventus fans again? Only time will tell.
