On September 11 of this year, the former Manchester United midfielder was temporarily suspended for an anti-doping offense.

The France international tested positive for testosterone, a hormone that enhances players’ endurance, in a random drugs test after Juventus’ Serie A game against Udinese on August 20.

Pogba faces a four-year suspension after the findings of a counter-analysis came back positive.

The revelation is yet another setback for a player who has been plagued by injuries since rejoining Juventus from Manchester United a little over a year ago.

He missed France’s World Cup run last year owing to a knee injury and appeared in only six Serie A matches for Juventus last season.

Pogba has yet to start a game this season but has appeared as a substitute twice, most recently in a 2-0 win over Empoli.
