You need to consider that these guys play top level, high intensity, professional football. There are times when I'm injured, and after the initial period I can still walk, dance, and maybe jog around with no issues - whereas sprints, clashes, explosive kicks and sharp turns over an extended was out of the question.
Even when a player can carry out all these actions fine, I can't imagine any club with medical staff worth their salt would then throw their multi-million pound asset into the fold as soon as they cross the threshold of being "fit" and able to play football. Even then, this is not taking into the account the intensity of training or of even amateur football when compared to premier league football when taking into account being elegible for fixtures.
I reckon it is probably partly for this reason that different websites have vastly different time ranges on the recovery times of the different grades of injuries. After a couple weeks you could be pain free and moving well, however the person could not be ready for going back to sport (or even then if ready for sports, not 100% internally healed). These websites could all be considering different things.
I think the video is great and is an indication that the stories of pogba being out for 3 months with a horrific injury are false. This opposed to possibility of Pogba throwing away crutches the physios gave him and deciding to dance through pain when he should be hobbling around everywhere or in a bed somewhere.

Where I am from we call our hamstrings our hamsters. Not sure why.
Maybe the mods can use it as my signature.
It's been longer than 1 week.

Felt three pops myself. Wasn't initially painful like cramp, but when I tried to run, it felt real heavy. About a month it took to recover.
both my hamstrings gave up listening to it
Future is great.
is Future a band or Musical performer or do you just have an optimistic outlook?
You call that music..?
Dancing is woeful too, get back to your day job Mr Pogba..!
Guessing no word on this from Mourinho tonight then?
If that video is current... And it is a big if. Then there is feck all wrong with him. He could probably do some minutes the weekend. But I would advise against it unless he is up to full pace in training first. There is no way this lad is out for 3 months or anything like it. He is nearing a return
Hammys are funny i done both of mine one took a week/10 days the other took all summer and although i could use it after about a month it was no right until the start of the season in the autumn. Neither were that bad to be fair, but for the first 2 weeks of the second one i could hardly move the leg, was very tender and as i seen mentioned previously, heavy thats a good discription. Need less to say i did not rest it or treat it right. And its this rather then its severity that was the delay in it fully recovering i imagine.
But in my mind, with the best of treatment and experts around you. You dont move like this without being near to being fully healed. He is shifting weight from leg to leg and bending down on one or other leg. I would expect him to play some role against palace, I would not bring him on the plane to Moscow. Maybe as a late sub last 15 or 20 more to see how it reacts.
We will see the best of Pogba when he fully matures the reason guys like Messi and Ronaldo were so good and consistent at a young age was cause they were mature beyond they're years.
It's a mystery now, but No news is Good news. Mourinho keeping his cards close to his chest.
I'm glad he's been given a holiday. Good move by the club. I wish we don't have to pick up the pieces every time the national teams decide to plunder our players.
I'm not sure.
What sort of mind games in hiding a date of a player return from injury like some assume!? It's like the next team we are playing waiting to see if we play Pogba or not to put their formation or something! That's stupid and un logic IMO.
Tell Ferguson that. At this level even the slightest advantage can tilt things your way.
Things can't be hidden too much, once he comes back and train for some few days then there's a big possibility for him to feature the next game after that, it will be something we can't hide and surprise the opponents like some say.
Maybe the hamstring injury is just a smokescreen, and Agent Pogba is actually going on holiday with another of our major transfer targets..!! haha
Still no news on the injury?
Presser kicks off in a minute. Hopefully we get an update. Fingers crossed.
Well, that clears it up then...
Think it's definitely more than the three weeks I was hoping for.
It’s great that he trusts his squad, but we really need our best players to be fit as much as possible. Not having Pogba is a huge loss, we need him to return as soon really.
This is starting to feel like it could be a long one
My guess is Jose wants him not to play the internationals coming up.
Pretty sure he will be back for the Liverpool game.
Let's hope so
That injury was, what, 10 days ago? I am not convinced a club of our stature with the facilities we have can't come up with a timeline of how long it will last. I'm inclined to believe we don't want it disclosed for tactical reasons. I am sure France can handle Bulgaria and Belarus without him, therefore he would stay here and will work on his recovery.
Fingers crossed he'll be in contention for the Liverpool game.

I'm surprised people think this means he's out for a long time. If you look at managers playing these sort of games, it's always when the injury isn't so serious, if it's a bad one they just come out and say it, putting the speculation to bed.
It's just Jose BSing everyone. Of course he will not disclose when he'll be back in order to avoid the internationals and have the guy fresh for the hard games that will come up afterwards.
Any update on His injury?
Has it been 6 weeks yet? I want him back
I imagine we are being vagur to avoid france trying to get him for the internationals. Hopefully.
If that video is post injury, no way he's out for 8 weeks or it is major serious. Probably just a minor strain and they won't want to risk it developing into anything serious.
