“Following complaining of pain in his right knee, Paul Pogba underwent radiological examinations that revealed a lesion of the lateral meniscus,” the club said in a statement.
Pogba started in a friendly against Guadalajara on Saturday, his first match for Juventus since returning on a free transfer earlier this month following six seasons at Manchester United.
Juventus kick off their 2022-23 Serie A campaign against Sassuolo on Aug. 15 as they look to win the Italian title for the first time since 2020.
