French Midfielder, Paul Pogba has sustained a minor injury which came as a result of twisting his ankle while training. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed this in his official X handle.
He posted:
Paul Pogba has suffered an injury in training with a twisted ankle, but it’s not a serious one.
French midfielder set to miss this weekend game but is expected to be back in action next week if all goes to plan.
According to his words, Pogba’s injury is not serious, but he will miss Monaco’s big Ligue 1 match against Paris Saint-Germain this weekend. He also pointed out that if Pogba’s recovery goes well, he will be back to his regular activities next week.
Pogba’s move to Monaco was supposed to be a fresh start after many years of struggle. His last competitive game was way back in 2023 for Juventus before he tested positive to a DHEA, a banned substance and got banned.
The ban was supposed to be four-year long but it was later reduced to 18 months after a successful appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Paul Pogba had been included in Monaco’s champions league, Softfootball reported. But since he arrived at Monaco, he has had constant issues with injuries. A thigh strain earlier in October led to his delayed debut and now he is challenged with an ankle problem.
With Monaco currently sixth in Ligue 1, they had hoped Pogba’s return would make a big difference in the midfield but with the November international break fast approaching, he might not be playing again till further notice.
For now, the club and their fans can only pray that Pogba finally gets a chance to climb to the spotlight in Monaco.
