After being forced to miss Juventus' Serie A match against Cremonese on Sunday due to yet another injury, Paul Pogba's first competitive start in more than a year came to an emotional end.

The 30-year-old France midfielder Pogba was substituted 23 minutes into Sunday's game in Turin. As he exited the pitch, he masked his disappointment from the warm but anxious applause of the home crowd by covering his face with his jersey.

After delivering a regular cross, he screamed in pain before collapsing to the ground and receiving on-field treatment for his left thigh.

After joining Juventus last summer from Manchester United, Pogba missed a significant portion of the season due to a preseason right knee injury.

He first made the decision to forgo surgery in an effort to compete in the World Cup in Qatar.

Nevertheless, Pogba didn't recuperate in time to play for France, who lost their title as world champions in a thrilling final against Argentina, despite later changing his mind.

In an effort to get back to full health, he started playing again at the end of February and has since made a number of substitute appearances. A right thigh injury in March, however, slowed his development.

Pogba's last start in a competitive game came in United's 4-0 thrashing by Liverpool in April of last year. He left the game injured early in the first half and did not return that year.
