According to a report from Foot Mercato, Paul Pogba (32) has a strong chance of being included in an AS Monaco squad for the first time as they prepare to face Paris FC in Ligue 1 on Saturday evening. The France international midfielder is yet to make a competitive appearance for Les Monégasques since he joined the club on a free transfer.
Pogba hasn’t featured in a professional football match since September 2023, when he featured for former club Juventus against Empoli in Serie A. The Frenchman was banned from football for four years after being charged with doping. The former Manchester United midfielder saw his ban reduced to 18 months and would have been eligible to feature again for the Bianconeri, but his contract was terminated.
Pogba to make his debut?
Whilst being included in the squad wouldn’t guarantee that the midfielder would make his debut, it would be a major step forward for the 32-year-old as he looks to make his comeback. L’Équipe reported that when the World Cup winner signed, he would have to wait until October to feature as he rebuilt his fitness.
