Juventus successfully started the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday, defeating "Freiburg" team at home with a score of 1:0.

In this match, the "old lady" played without Paul Pogba, although the Frenchman missed the game for an unusual reason.

It seems that the Frenchman arrived late for the team meeting before the match and was punished for it.

This was confirmed by the team's coach Massimiliano Allegri.

"Pogba arrived late for the team meeting yesterday. For this reason, he was not included in the team lineup today. Everyone must respect their teammates.

Paul will fully return to the team activities from Friday," said the Juventus strategist.

P. Pogba has only played two games this season.
