Paul Pogba (32 years old) has not played since September 3, 2023, when he last wore the Juventus shirt, before he was suspended for doping! The midfielder, who signed on July 1 with AS Monaco, is injured and will not play in the Ligue 1 match with Paris FC scheduled for tonight in the French capital.
The ordeal of Paul Pogba is not over! When everything seemed ready for his return to the pitch, his debut in Ligue 1 will not happen this Saturday either.
Pogba has a slight ankle sprain, the coach is optimistic
According to RMC Sport, Pogba withdrew after training yesterday afternoon due to a ankle problems. The French midfielder suffered the injury following a collision during the training session led by Sébastien Pocognoli.

He was able to finish the session, so that could be a positive sign, we just need to be sure. Because then he couldn't stand on his leg anymore”.
He waited so long to play, but his return date was slightly delayed. The aim is for him to be available after the international break. We're all disappointed but I'm hoping it's just a sprain and a week to two off the pitch

“Paul Pogba's position in the squad looks compromised!”
The same source claims that under these conditions, “Pogba's position within the team looks compromised, raising more and more questions about his future at AS Monaco, who had invested so much in him but could never have him at his disposal until now.”
190of matches Paul Pogba had at Juventus, for whom he scored 34 goals and provided 40 assists in two experiences (2012-2016 and 2022-2024)
The last official appearance of the French international occurred on September 3, 2023, in the 3rd stage of Serie A, 28 minutes into the match won by Juventus at Empoli (2-0), replacing Miretti.
Then came the suspension for doping (initially four years, sanction halved by TAS), which ended in March, the possibility of a return to Ligue 1, the opportunity called AS Monaco and the dream of a new debut. But this new injury puts everything on hold!
