Juventus will now determine whether Paul Pogba needs surgery for his damaged meniscus. The Frenchman was plagued by injuries during his second spell at Manchester United, where he failed to live up to his billing as the club’s record signing before leaving this summer on a free. He made his second debut for the club in a 2-0 win over Chivas Guadalajara on Friday.

Paul Pogba’s return to Juventus has already run into trouble after the club revealed he had injured his meniscus.
Pogba made his first Juve appearance in six years in a 2-0 win over Mexican side Chivas Guadalajara in a friendly in Las Vegas on Friday.
“Following the pain reported in his right knee, Paul Pogba was subjected to radiological investigations which revealed a lesion of the lateral meniscus [a shock absorbing pad of cartilage in the knee],” the club reported.
“In the next few hours he will undergo a specialist orthopedic consultation. Therefore, he will not take part in the trip to Dallas to continue treatment.”
Pogba only completed his return to the Serie A giants on a free transfer from Manchester United earlier in July. He was beset with injury problems last season at Old Trafford.
