Massimiliano Allegri, the head coach of Juventus, has said that he does not know when Paul Pogba will make his recovery.

After returning to Turin on a free transfer prior to the start of the season, Pogba is yet to make his club debut. He had a knee injury during preseason that prevented him from participating in France's World Cup triumphs.

Originally anticipated to make his comeback for the match against Serie A leaders Napoli on January 13, the former Manchester United midfielder's homecoming appears to have been postponed.

In remarks made during Saturday's 2-0 victory against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium, Allegri made it obvious he is eager to avoid any inquiries over Pogba's rehabilitation and did not provide a timetable.

"Paul still hasn't been consistent in training, so I cannot say when he'll be back," he told Sky Sport Italia.

"This is the truth and it's important to say that, otherwise every day we'll get these questions on how Pogba's recovery is going. He hasn't yet started running in training."

Pogba is not the only injury concern for Juventus ahead of the resumption of the season, though Allegri expects the core of his squad to be ready for the clash against Cremonese on January 4.

"[Federico] Chiesa had a muscular issue, but that's normal when stepping up the intensity after such a long injury lay-off and we preferred not to risk him. He'll be ready for December 27," he added.

"[Leonardo] Bonucci won't be out for long, Juan Cuadrado will only be available after the Cremonese game and Mattia De Sciglio should be back from December 27 onwards.

"That is also when Danilo and Alex Sandro arrive, while [Adrien] Rabiot and the Argentineans will have a few more days to rest, as they are in the World Cup final tomorrow."
