Paul Pogba risked the wrath of Juventus fans, after he was spotted venturing up some ski slopes as the Serie A campaign gears up for resumption.
The Frenchman missed the World Cup while he was recovering from a thigh injury, coupled a knee strain that kept him out for the majority of the season so far.

It is not certain whether he was actually engaging in skiing or snowboarding, but the fact that he was outside in an area known for the extreme sport left fans questioning his commitment to football.
According to Tuttosport, Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri is also annoyed with his midfielder, since hanging around the mountains always poses a risk of injury.
Pogba has since hit back by sharing a video of himself dancing on the ski slopes, per Daily Mail.
Juventus’ next fixtures
The Old Lady will be back in action on January 4 when they come up against Cremonese in Serie A. However, Pogba is not expected to play any role in that game.
He initially suffered a tear to his meniscus during the pre-season, which ruled him out until October. A thigh injury left him on the sidelines in another setback to his return to active football.
