French international midfielder Paul Pogba, who recently returned to Juventus, faces the specter of his country's absence from the World Cup in Qatar, due to injury.

Pogba complained of injury while he was with Juventus in the United States, and initial examinations showed that he was suffering from an injury to the meniscus of the right knee.
According to the Corriere dello Sport newspaper, Pogba will undergo a medical examination by a specialist doctor today, Thursday.
The Italian newspaper indicated that Pogba has two options, the first is to remove the affected part of the cartilage, and the second is to completely treat the knee.
According to the newspaper, Corriere dello Sport, the removal of the affected part of the cartilage will lead to the absence of Pogba for about six weeks, while if the French star decides to treat the knee completely, he will miss all competitions this year.
