Paul Pogba to miss next leg of Juventus’ pre-season tour after knee injury
Paul Pogba will miss the next leg of Juventus’ pre-season tour of the U.S. after suffering a knee injury.
The 29-year-old France international rejoined the Serie A giants on a free transfer after his Manchester United contract expired earlier this summer.
He started the 2-0 friendly win over Guadalajara in Nevada on Saturday.
But, after six years away from Turin, he could now face a spell on the sidelines after Juventus announced he would not take part in the trip to Dallas.

“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.”
Juventus start their Serie A season at home to Sassuolo on August 15.
