Juventus midfielder, Paul Pogba’s injury nightmare continues, with hopes of playing in the World Cup are now in serious doubt.

Football Journalist Fabrizio 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.
