Paul Pogba reportedly tested positive for testosterone after Juventus’ first game of the season against Udinese.
The Frenchman has endured a difficult return to the Italian club – who he rejoined from Manchester United last year – amid a battle with injuries and fitness.
Outlets in Italy are claiming he is set to be suspended after traces of testosterone were found in his system early in the campaign.
Pogba has played just 32 minutes of action this season and was not involved in the opening Serie A clash against Udinese.
Should Pogba be found guilty, he will reportedly be investigated by the National Anti-Doping Tribunal, who could hand him a ban of up to two years, according to Sportmediaset. Should the tribunal prove that the alleged doping was intentional, the ban could then be extended to four years, it goes on.
