Kwadwo Asamoah Convinced Former Teammate Pogba Will Make the Difference at Juventus After Injury Recovery

• Former Ghana midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah believes Paul Pogba's return to Juventus will help the club back to its best
• Pogba rejoined to the Italian giants in the summer transfer window after his contract with Manchester United ended
• The France international is yet to make an appearance this season though after picking up an injury during pre-season

Kwadwo Asamoah believes Paul Pogba is the missing piece at Juventus, following their early season struggles.

The Italian giants have been poor in the ongoing campaign, having been booted out of the UEFA Champions League after five games at the group stage.

Pogba, who rejoined the club in the summer transfer window, is yet to make an appearance due to injury.

His former teammate, Asamoah is confident the 2018 World Cup winner will make the difference when he returns to action.

What Asamoah said to Gazetta dello Sport via Tuttomercatoweb is translated as follows:

"We arrived at Juventus the same year and we have always had a great feeling, on and off the pitch. Paul and I write to each other on social media from time to time. I'm glad he's back in black and white."

"We are talking about a champion who, when he is well, makes the difference. I am convinced that once again he will give a big hand to the team," he added.

Asamoah and Pogba enjoyed a trophy-laden spell during their time at Juventus, winning the Serie A and Coppa Italia.

The former Ghana international announced his retirement last month after almost two decades of active football.

Meanwhile, Pogba has been ruled out of the 2022 FIFA World Cup due to the injury. He joins N'golo Kante on the sidelines as French stars to miss the tournament.
