Overview
- Paul Pogba sustained an ankle injury in Thursday’s training session and will miss Monaco’s Ligue 1 match against Paris FC this weekend.
- Head coach Sebastien Pocognoli said the severity is being assessed and indicated the club hopes the layoff will be about two weeks.
- Monaco is aiming for Pogba to be available after the international break, with the November 22 home game against Rennes identified as a potential date.
- The midfielder has not played a competitive match for around two years after a doping suspension that was reduced on appeal to 18 months, clearing him to play since March.
- Pogba signed a two-year deal in June and completed a three-month fitness program, with Monaco’s staff maintaining a careful return plan to avoid further setbacks.
