The weeks follow one another and are similar, unfortunately for Paul Pogba. While the former Monaco coach, Adi Hütter, since dismissed, had announced his return to the field for mid-October and the trip to Angers in Ligue 1 (1-1), we will have to wait a little longer to see “the Pick” at work again. And this time it’s the new ASM coach who says it.

The midfielder (32), who has not played an official match since September 2023 with Juventus, should not be called up for two or three weeks. “We still have to push on in the coming week, that’s the best thing to do so that he is in the best position to make his return”declared Sébastien Pocognoli at a press conference.

“There is very good communication between him and the medical staff to allow him to arrive in the best possible condition and with as much confidence as possible. I hope that the next week will allow us to answer the last questions. It's close, but there are still steps”added the Belgian technician before the reception in Toulouse on Saturday (7 p.m.).

Paul Pogba's return delayed again

One of them for the 2018 world champion is
“to train 100% throughout the session, which he has not yet done”indicated Sébastien Pocognoli, who is counting on a deadline of “a few weeks” for his big return. “To see if it will be before the truce or nothe clarified. But in any case, it's nice to see him back on the field and to have him back among his teammates. »

If the former Turin player is declared fit before the next international break, he could play the match against Lens on November 8 at the Louis-II stadium. If it is afterwards, it is on the pitch of Stade Rennais that Paul Pogba could finally begin his adventure in the colors of ASM, on November 22. Unless, by then, another piece of bad news spoils everything again…
