Just weeks after making his return to Turin, Paul Pogba has suffered a serious knee injury that will see him miss the start ot the season.
Paul Pogba rejoined Juventus this summer on a free transfer, six years after departing the Old Lady for Manchester United.
But the Frenchman's return to Turin hasn't quite gone to plan, with the 29-year-old suffering a serious injury in training this week.
As a result, Pogba will need to undergo surgery, forcing him to miss out on not only the rest of Juventus' pre-season schedule, but also the start of their Serie A campaign.
The club confirmed Pogba's injury via social media on Sunday, stating that he'd suffered an injury to his meniscus.

"In the next few hours he will undergo a specialist orthopedic consultation.
"Therefore, in order to continue treatment, he is not taking part in the trip to Dallas."
