French international Paul Pogba could be out of action for three months, the Sunday Times reported on Sunday, dealing a huge blow to Manchester United.
The hamstring injury suffered by the 24-year-old — an o89.3 million ($121 million, 105 million euros) signing from Juventus last year — after just 18 minutes in Tuesday’s Champions League match with Basel is worse than was thought originally according to a club source.
The source said he faced sitting on the sidelines of anything from six to 12 weeks.
“The injury is really bad,” a United source was quoted as saying by the newspaper. However, the club believe Pogba’s injury was a result of the player overdoing his personal training outside of the club’s supervision.
