Juventus are alerted, Pogba risks lateral meniscus surgery and two months of
Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba's injury turned out to be more serious than the first predictions and now the French midfielder is likely to be out for 6-8 weeks. It appeared to be a simple pain in the right knee, but radiological examinations, which the white midfielder underwent, showed an injury to the lateral meniscus. 

In the coming hours, Juventus' new signing will undergo a specialist orthopedic consultation in the United States. In all likelihood, it can be operated directly in America to speed up recovery times as much as possible.

Pogba is understood to have missed the squad in Texas, where Juve face Barcelona tonight, and is due to undergo a new medical today. At the moment, Juventus has issued this statement: "Pogba has undergone radiological investigations that have shown an injury to the lateral meniscus. In the following hours, he will undergo a specialized consultation." 

The solution that awaits us is that of intervention, the possibilities of avoiding the operation are not many, as it is also a problem that the player has accumulated for some time. Of course, Pogba will not be there for his Serie A debut against Sassuolo on August 15, but he will also miss the first two Champions League games, scheduled for September 6-7 and September 13-14. The return to the field in case of intervention should be done at the end of September-beginning of October. However, in the following hours the picture will be clearer.
