Just 14 days after joining Juventus, Paul Pogba injured his knee and is expected to miss two months of play.
This summer, after his contract at Old Trafford expired, the Frenchman left Manchester United and returned to Italy on a free transfer.
Pogba, 29, injured his calf in April’s 4-0 loss to Liverpool for the Red Devils; he didn’t play again until Saturday’s match between Juventus and Chivas Guadalajara.
But after he hobbled off following a training session, Juve decided to evaluate his health.
The 2018 World Cup champion will require surgery and will be sidelined for two months, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The Old Lady have now confirmed that Pogba has sustained a “lesion of the lateral meniscus.”
Juventus assert that he will not take part in the team’s upcoming leg of their tour and will instead be subject to additional testing.
Without the former £89 million player, Massimiliano Allegri’s team has left for Dallas and is already looking at new midfielders.
In order to create room for PSG star Leandro Paredes, Juventus is attempting to flog two players.
