Why I don’t know when Pogba will return – Mourinho



Manchester United coach José Mourinho said he did not know when Paul Pogba would return because the midfielder has not yet trained with him.

Pogba has been out since September after a hamstring injury in his Champions League game against Basel.

Although photos of him at his Carrington training base appeared online last week, Mourinho insists that he ignores the progress of the French international.

"I have no idea [when will he return]?

"Honestly, I'm not in control of your recovery process, you're not training with me, you're in individual work, and when a player is in an individual job, I can not predict it.

"I would hope Marcos Rojo comes back after the international break because he's training with me, but with Paul, I have no idea.

"[Without Pogba], we won all the games except one, two, two, so it's not bad," said Mourinho.

It seems obvious that there will be more, and more serious, injuries among high school and college athletes in football or soccer or lacrosse than, say, in running or in tennis. But how much more and at what economic cost? The Yale researchers discovered that these numbers were difficult to obtain, but using the best available data, they calculated that if contact sports could be practiced without contact, such as flag football, for example, there would be 49,600 fewer injuries among men. university athletes per year and 601,900 less among male high school athletes. The savings, which include estimates of medical costs and lost time, could reach $ 1.5 billion a year for colleges and $ 19.2 billion a year for high schools. And that only takes into account the immediate consequences of an injury, according to an article by the researchers, and not the long-term effects of concussions or repeated bursts of the brain in collisions. Or the repercussions of ligament tears, which ...

Ronaldo speaks on Neymar’s Barcelona exit

Former Brazilian star Ronaldo noticed that Neymar's world record at Paris Saint-Germain was similar to his departure from Barcelona. Ronaldo spent just one season at Camp Nou, scoring 34 goals in 37 league games, but left the club surprisingly before the 1997-98 season. Neymar surprised the football world by leaving Barcelona for PSG, and his compatriot said his departure was similar to his. Ronaldo's Barcelona performance helped him to become the FIFA World Player in 1996 and 1997, but the contract negotiations failed, which led him to Inter Milan. Reports at the time suggested that Neymar had been frustrated by the club's hierarchy, and Ronaldo revealed that he had the same problem. The 41-year-old said to Veja: "Neymar's departure from Barça was a bit like mine, so I went to Inter when the Italian league was much stronger than France now. "I do not have the details and I do not know what was behind the negotiation [for Neymar] Maybe ev...

Why Lionel Messi Pulled Out of ‘Glamour’ Match Against Nigeria

The fact that Lionel Messi withdrew the previous friendly match at the World Cup to be held in Russia against the Nigeria Super Eagles can not be a clear story of why he decided not to participate in the friendly match on November 14th. Argentine coach Jorge Sampaoli has confirmed that he has chosen not to line up his captain, Messi, against the Super Eagles. And it was suggested that the striker will only face the hosts of the Russian World Cup at the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow on November 11th. Sampaoli and the national crew were insinuating who had decided to allow the Barcelona striker to steal from Moscow after the first match, "to have enough time to rest before returning to the club's obligations". And the rest of the Argentine team will travel to Krasnodar, where they will play against Nigeria on November 14th. Remember that a similar scenario happened during the last international friendlies Albicelestes against Brazil (June 9) and Singapore (June 1...
