Manchester United are weighing up whether to send Paul Pogba under the knife in order to put an end to his troublesome hamstring injury.
The midfielder has been out of action for the Red Devils since limping out of their Champions League clash with Basle on September 12.
Pogba has been struggling with a hamstring issue, and the club must now make the call on whether to allow the player to recover naturally or head to the operating theatre in order to speed up the process.
Manchester United will make a decision on whether to put Paul Pogba in for hamstring surgery
Surgeon Sakari Orava, who has monitored Pogba before and has also been helping oversee the recovery of Barcelona starlet Ousmane Dembele, has shone further light on the situation.
'His wound is a bit different from Dembele because he can cure without surgery,' Orava stated, as reported by French publication L'Equipe.
The surgeon, however, has suggested that an operation may be more beneficial for Pogba in this instance, and may help him return stronger to the Old Trafford fold.
'A decision will be made next week,' Orava added.
The £89million superstar hasn't been seen since he limped out of United's clash with Basle
Pogba's injury has drawn comparison's with crocked Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele
United face a tough run of fixtures without their £89million superstar, beginning with a long-haul trip to Russia this week to face CSKA Moscow in the Champions League.
The Red Devils will then return to Premier League action against Crystal Palace, before travelling to Anfield to lock horns with bitter rivals Liverpool.
An official announcement from the club is expected in due course regarding the extent of Pogba's lay-off and the action taken by medical staff.
