Pogba’s Return to Monaco Football Nears Completion

Injured midfielder Paul Pogba is on the verge of returning to action for AS Monaco following a thigh injury sustained at the beginning of October. The 32-year-old World Cup winner has shown consistent progress during recovery, bringing his comeback into clear focus. AS Monaco’s coach Sebastian Pocognoli expressed optimism about Pogba’s rehabilitation during his latest press conference, indicating the midfielder could rejoin group training in the coming weeks.

Progress and Positive Signs in Training

Pocognoli emphasized that each training session has delivered encouraging results, suggesting Pogba’s recuperation is progressing ahead of schedule. The coach stated that Pogba is now closer to a return than midfielder Zakaria, another recovering player on the squad. The Belgian tactician promised that the midfielder will be reintegrated gradually with a careful assessment plan tailored to his current physical condition rather than his previous peak performance years.

Building the Best Version of Pogba

The AS Monaco coach stressed the importance of managing expectations around Pogba’s return, cautioning that the player must be evaluated based on his present abilities rather than his illustrious Manchester United or Juventus past. Pocognoli acknowledged that age, accumulated injuries, and personal experiences have naturally altered Pogba’s profile, though his technical abilities remain intact. The coach committed to creating optimal conditions for Pogba’s reintegration, promising collective team support to extract maximum potential from the veteran midfielder during the crucial remaining fixtures ahead.
