France international Paul Pogba has suffered a knee injury just 14 days after signing for Juventus and looks set to be out for two month.
Pogba left Manchester United to return to Italy on a free transfer this summer after his contract at Old Trafford expired.
He suffered a calf injury in United’s 4-0 defeat to Liverpool in April – only making his return as Juve played Chivas Guadalajara on Saturday.
He subsequently limped off during a training session, however, prompting Juve to conduct medical checks.
The former Serie A champions have now confirmed that Pogba has suffered a “lesion of the lateral meniscus”.
