Originally hoped to return to the field in early October, Paul Pogba could know his great first with AS Monaco on the weekend of October 18, on the lawn of Angers, just after the next international truce.
The first steps of Paul Pogba in Ligue 1, in the jersey of AS Monaco, are getting closer. New player of the princely club since June 28, the 2018 world champion has not played since September 3, 2024, just before his 18 -month suspension for positive control at the Déhydroépiandrosterone (DHEA). But his return to the field is becoming clearer, according to Adi Hütter, who confided in the press two days before the trip from Monaco to Auxerre (Saturday 21:05).
Hütter on Pogba: “After the next international truce, I think we can see him play for AS Monaco”
Deprived of his new goalkeeper, Lukas Hradecky, for possibly the next two months due to an injury to the knee ligaments contracted against Strasbourg before the international break (3-2), the Austrian ASM technician spoke of the cases of Paul Pogba and Ansu Fati, registered on the list for the Champions League phase. Possibly in the group for Bruges Thursday, September 18, Fati could know its first with Monaco three days later, during the reception of Metz in Ligue 1.
As for Paul Pogba, therefore, it will take a little more time and the coach of AS Monaco rather stood on a return in mid-October. “After the next international truce, I think we can see him play for AS Monaco. He’s on the right path. It takes a little more time than for Ansu, but it is fine. I wouldn’t say that I am surprised but I am impressed by what he does every day to come back. He is a very professional player. I hope to see him again after the next international truce ”. This would correspond, at best, with the trip of Monaco to the lawn of Angers, scheduled for the weekend of October 18 as part of the eighth day of Ligue 1.
