Paulo Dybala, Dusan Vlahovic, and Weston McKennie were among the initial respondents to Paul Pogba’s recent Instagram post, offering their support to the French midfielder following a four-year suspension due to doping allegations.
Former colleagues of Pogba, including Dybala, Leandro Paredes, and Juan Cuadrado, demonstrated solidarity with the 2018 France World Cup champion on Thursday by engaging with his latest Instagram post, wherein Pogba addressed a four-year ban from professional football issued by the Italian anti-doping tribunal.
In a message scribed in Spanish, Dybala conveyed his sentiment, expressing, “Te quiero, hermano” (I love you, brother).
Despite having shared only one season together at Juventus in 2015-16, the Argentine forward and Pogba have maintained a close friendship.
Following his stint at Juventus, Pogba transferred to Manchester United in 2016, only returning to Turin in 2022, several months subsequent to Dybala’s departure.
Additional current teammates of Pogba, notably Vlahovic, McKennie, and fellow Frenchman Adrien Rabiot, similarly voiced their support. Further displays of solidarity are anticipated in the ensuing hours as the French midfielder prepares to contest the ban through an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
