El último partido profesional disputado por Paul Pogba, que fue campeón del mundo con su selección en 2018, fue a comienzos de septiembre de 2023.

Overview

  • Monaco included the 32-year-old midfielder in its traveling list for Saturday’s Ligue 1 match at Rennes, setting up a possible club debut.
  • Pogba has not been in a professional matchday squad since September 3, 2023, when Juventus beat Empoli 2–0 in Serie A.
  • Head coach Sébastien Pocognoli said Pogba reported positive sensations in a recent run of sessions and was tested in match-like conditions during the international break.
  • He joined Monaco in the offseason on a contract running to June 2027 after a doping suspension and injuries, and this would be his first Ligue 1 appearance.
  • The midfielder’s recent years also included an extortion case tied to a 2022 armed threat, with his brother Mathias convicted in related proceedings, while Monaco enters the weekend sixth in Ligue 1 and seven points off PSG.
