Paul Pogba's World Cup dream in tatters after Juventus confirm knee surgery

Paul Pogba is expected to miss this year's World Cup in Qatar after Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri confirmed he won't play for the club again until January.

Pogba, 29, sustained a knee injury in pre-season and has undergone surgery to fix the problem. It was initially hoped the France international would return to fitness this month, but the extent of the damage was realised on Monday following a training session.

The midfielder helped France win the World Cup in Russia four years ago, scoring in the 4-2 victory against Croatia in the final. He was also part of the squad that won the Nations League last October and reached the final of Euro 2016, losing 1-0 to Portugal in Paris.
