Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has begun running as his recovery from knee injury enters a second phase.

Pogba suffered a knee injury in preseason training in Los Angeles.

There was concerns he would be missing for five months, but Pogba chose to skip surgery so cutting the recovery time.

Tuttosport says he has started some light physical exercises, like running on the treadmill.

There is now hope Pogba will be able to turn out for Juve in the early weeks of September.
