When the dust finally settles down on an earlier setting that had pictured, justifiably or otherwise, a restless World Cup star player more preoccupied with his hopeful exit to new glittering horizons beckoning to him on the continent rather than on justifying his high price tag, what is revealed now is a player anxious to be free from the shackles of injury and itching to get back on the pitch.<\/p>\n
Paul Pogba\u2019s stint on the sidelines has all but made him more determined to get back into the thick of action on the pitch after an insufferable long layoff for a foot injury, the Manchester United midfielder has said.<\/p>\n
Having been restricted to only eight appearances so far this season due to new and recurring injuries, Pogba was primed and eager to return to action before professional football in the continent was suspended because of the COVID-19 outbreak.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been frustrated, a long time ago. Now I\u2019m almost there, so I\u2019m just thinking about getting back and training fully with the team and everything,\u201d the 27-year-old said in an official club podcast.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou think bad, but I\u2019ve never had something like this in my career, so I always take it in a good way. It makes me more hungry to come back and do well.\u201d<\/p>\n
The France international suffered a foot injury in August that he further aggravated by continuing to play.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a cast on it, a plaster-cast, so it went very well but too well.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe bone got bigger and so, when I came back again, I played those two games against Watford and Newcastle, I could feel something again.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Manchester United star underwent surgery in January and now cannot wait to return to action like a famished predator on the prowl.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I had to have an operation and now here I am. I don\u2019t feel anything, and, hopefully, I\u2019ll be back very soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hopefully the football season will resume as soon as possible so that this beleaguered star can prove to the Manchester United fans that he is indeed worth every penny that he\u2019s paid, not to mention the angst and anxiety caused by him and his super agent manager in particular.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
