JUVENTUS are already fearful Paul Pogba is their new Aaron Ramsey with his injury woes, according to reports.
The French midfielder, 29, rejoined the Old Lady on a free transfer this summer following his Manchester United release.

He must decide whether or not to undergo surgery, which would extend his time out to around four months.
Now the Daily Mail reckon the club and supporters are beginning to grow concerned about his medical record and questioning how scrupulous the team were in their physical checks – especially as Pogba replaced Ramsey in midfield.

Ironically, that is more than Paulo Dyala, who was let go by Juventus this summer with his injury issues understood to be part of the reason.
