Paul Pogba will NOT have knee surgery in a bid to keep his Qatar World Cup hopes alive... with Juventus and France midfielder hoping to return at the start of September after five weeks of conservative treatment

Paul Pogba has decided not undergo surgery on his knee in the hope he can feature for France at this winter's World Cup in Qatar.

Pogba, who officially rejoined Juventus this summer after running his Manchester United contract down, handed his country a scare when he sustained an injury to his right knee in training last month on the Serie A giants' tour of America.

The 29-year-old midfielder visited a specialist consultant in Lyon on Tuesday and has been convinced to avoid surgery, and will instead undergo five weeks of conservative treatment.
