Worrying Times for Juventus

Following the departures of Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal, Pogba is being counted on to lead the midfield for Juventus in 2015-16. The young star has been relatively injury-free so far during his career, according to Transfermarkt.

Given their stuttering start to the Serie A season, losing their talisman would represent another unwanted setback for the Bianconeri.
