Sources: Pogba Set for Monaco Squad at Rennes in First Match Since 2023

Eligibility resumed in March after his doping ban was cut to 18 months on appeal.

Overview

  • ESPN reports Pogba will be named in Monaco’s squad Saturday with a plan for brief minutes, pending he completes Friday training without issues.
  • He trained fully on Thursday, and sources say he will travel to Brittany if no setbacks are reported after the next session.
  • If he features, it would be his first competitive appearance since Sept. 3, 2023, when he played 28 minutes for Juventus against Empoli.
  • Previous target dates were postponed by a minor fitness setback and an ankle problem in training, which Monaco’s manager had said was still being assessed.
  • Pogba joined Monaco in the summer after leaving Juventus in November 2024, and the club faces Rennes before a Champions League trip to Pafos next week.
