The bad luck continues to stick to Paul Pogba's coattails!
Arrived free at Juventus Turin, from Manchester United, this summer, the world champion injured his right knee on Monday in training.
The Piedmontese club quickly communicated about him reporting a "damage to the lateral meniscus".
This first diagnosis made, the Bianconeri leaders first considered having the player operate in the United States, where the Old Lady is currently on a summer tour.
According to concordant sources in Italy, the Piedmontese board then changed its mind.
By mutual agreement, it was therefore decided to anticipate the return of “la Pioche” to Italy.
The 29-year-old seems determined to seek the opinion of several surgeons before making his decision.
The probability of a transaction remains, however, possible.
The first returns are, however, state of an unavailability likely to stretch between 6 and 8 weeks.
It would then be a real tile for both Juventus and the France team.
If these deadlines are confirmed, Pogba would thus miss the start of the Serie A season (1st day on August 15 against Sassuolo), but also the gathering of the Blues from September 19 to 25 with the last two Nations League matches against Austria (22), then Denmark (25).
Repeat injuries
On the other hand, his participation in the World Cup in Qatar (November 21 - December 18) would not, at this stage, be compromised, Didier Deschamps having to communicate his list at the beginning of November.
Pogba had already had to give up the last rally in June.
Hit in the calf after less than ten minutes of play on April 19 on the Liverpool side, he did not play again afterwards.
Between November 2021 and February 2022, already, the native of Lagny-sur-Marne had spent his time in the infirmary, without playing a single match.
