New Juventus signing Paul Pogba has suffered a knee injury and will not be part of the team that travels to Dallas to take on Barcelona in a friendly on Tuesday.
The France international recently returned to the club where he previously spent four years between 2012 and 2016, winning four Serie A titles in that period.
But it now appears that Pogba will be spending time on the sidelines, after Juventus released a statement updating fans on the status of the 29-year-old.
The statement on the club s official website said: Following complaining of pain in his right knee, Paul Pogba underwent radiological examinations that revealed a lesion of the lateral meniscus.
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.

Pogba s previous spell with the Bianconeri came to an end when Manchester United paid a then-world-record fee of £89.3million (€105m) to take the midfielder back to Old Trafford, where he had spent time as a youngster.
However, after an ultimately underwhelming six-year spell in Manchester, Pogba rejoined Juventus following the expiration of his United contract.
