Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba’s injury nightmare continues with the midfielder reportedly set to undergo surgery on his knee. 

The Frenchman sustained an injury on the meniscus in his right knee back in July during a training session. 

Earlier reports indicated that Pogba was unwilling to undergo surgery in order to represent France in the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, which is due to get underway in November.

There have also been reports claiming that Pogba was back in training for Juventus on Monday. With the midfielder expected to be back in action later this month but will miss matches against Paris Saint Germain and Benfica in the first two group stage matches of this season’s Champions League.

However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Pogba is now set to take up the option of undergoing surgery. 

Romano wrote on his official Twitter account: “Bad news for Paul Pogba. He will undergo surgery on the meniscus in his right knee - Juventus staff has decided together with Paul today.”

With Pogba deciding to go under the knife, it has been reported that the 29-year-old will be sideline for around 40-60 days. 

As a result, his hopes of being included in the France squad for the World Cup could be in doubt as the defending champions of the world will get their tournament underway in 78 days. 

Pogba rejoined Juventus after his second spell with Premier League side Manchester United ended with bitterness.

He failed to secure a new contract at Old Trafford after a string of disappointing performances, whilst his relationship with the club's fans also turned sour after some controversial comments made in his documentary that was shown on Amazon Prime Video.

Upon his return to the Turin club, Pogba expressed his delight. 

He said: “As you can see, I'm back and I'm very happy - I can't wait to start with you and win trophies with you. We'll be there on the pitch in the stadium, all together.”

Will Pogba recover in time to help his country defend the World Cup? Only time will tell.
