Paul Pogba is set to make his long-awaited return to competitive action this weekend, 26 months after his last appearance. AS Monaco have officially confirmed that the 32-year-old midfielder has rejoined full team training and is expected to be available for selection against Rennes on Saturday.
Pogba’s journey back to the pitch has been long and turbulent. The 2018 World Cup winner had been sidelined due to persistent injuries before serving a doping ban that kept him out of action for an extended period. French outlet L’Équipe reports that Pogba has now fully recovered and has impressed Monaco’s technical staff with his fitness, sharpness, and determination since returning to training.
This comeback marks a significant moment for both the player and the club. Pogba joined AS Monaco earlier this year, but his availability remained uncertain as he focused on rehabilitation and clearing the final steps of his suspension. With his ban officially over and injury issues resolved, the midfielder is now in line to feature in a competitive match for the first time in more than two years.
