Paul Pogba has reportedly withdrawn from Juventus’ pre-season tour in the United States after suffering a knee injury.
The 29-year-old Frenchman suffered the issue in a training session in Los Angeles last week, forced to limp off the pitch. He was initially optimistic and the assumption was that it was nothing serious, but later tests revealed that he could be out for as long as two months should surgery be required.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Pogba is leaving the Juventus camp in the US in order to return to Italy, ready to begin his recovery process. He’s set to visit a specialist to determine if an operation is required or not, and if so he’ll be sidelined for a little longer than expected.
It now seems unlikely that Pogba will be fit in time for Juventus’ first match of the upcoming Serie A season against Sassuolo, which kicks off on August 15.
