P. Pogba trauma - long-term

"Manchester United" coach Jose Mourinho confirmed that Paul Pogba's injury is long-term and even compared his situation to Zlatan Ibrahimovic's.

The Frenchman has not played since the 3-0 victory in the UEFA Champions League match against "Basel" on September 12.

Little information has been provided about his condition so far, but the team's strategist said that he does not expect to see him back on the field soon.

"He is injured and cannot play tomorrow," Mourinho said at a press conference.

"His injury is not one that I could have hope like with Valencia or Jones."

"With them, I hope to see them in training and get a positive response (about the possibility of playing in matches - editor's note)."

"However, I am not talking about long-term injuries. So, I am not thinking about Ibra, Pogba, Rojo, and other players."

Despite suffering an injury, the world's most expensive defender scored two goals and provided two assists in four "Premier" League games.
