Former Juventus medical chief Fabrizio Tencone says Paul Pogba has a "50-50" chance of aggravating his knee injury.

The midfielder has decided against surgery to do physio with the aim of recovering in five weeks' time.

Tencone told TMW: "Over the next five weeks the player will progressively resume training. There are no special treatments. That meniscus is broken and no care in the world will fix it. It will remain broken. T

"The meniscus that has detached could start to give less and less discomfort and pain as long as, as they say in the jargon, it does not 'wedge the knee' and does not 'block it'. Pogba may not even feel discomfort at all, at best of cases. And then gradually resume training.

Pogba will sit out for five weeks, then return to training: "At that point no, no special precautions will be needed otherwise it would not make sense. But there is the risk that the annoyance will recur: As it turns out, there is a risk of 50-50."
