Juventus' French star Paul Pogba will likely miss the rest of his side's preseason tour of the United States after suffering a knee injury.

Pogba, 29, rejoined the Serie A giant on a free transfer after his Manchester United contract expired earlier this summer and started the 2-0 friendly win over Guadalajara in Nevada on Saturday.

But, after six years away from Turin he could now face a spell on the sidelines after Juventus announced he would not take part in the trip to Dallas, where Juve will face La Liga side Barcelona.

"Following complaining of pain in his right knee, Paul Pogba underwent radiological examinations that revealed a lesion of the lateral meniscus," the club confirmed on their official website.

"In the next few hours, he will undergo a specialist orthopedic consultation.

"Therefore, in order to continue treatment, he is not taking part in the trip to Dallas."

Juventus start its Serie A season at home to Sassuolo on Aug. 15.
