MOSCOW, Jul 28 Juventus Turin French football player Paul Pogba may miss World Cup in Qatar due to knee surgery, according to Football Italia. Earlier, the club said that the midfielder suffered damage to the lateral meniscus, due to which he will not take part in further training activities of the team's pre-season tour of the United States. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the player needs an operation, after which he will miss at least two months. He was expected to undergo surgery in the United States, but instead flew back to Italy on Wednesday. According to the source, Pogba's doubts are due to the fact that there are two possible approaches to treating this injury, one of which could lead to missing the World Cup. . In the first case, part of the meniscus will be removed, which will put Pogba out of action for 40-60 days. However, it is thought to be more suitable for younger players as it may affect knee mobility. Another option may require 4-5 months of rehabilitation. It is noted that the player intends to consult with medical staff in France, as well as with an orthopedic specialist, before making a decision. The World Cup in Qatar will be held from November 21 to December 18, 2022.
