Monaco has regained its splendor. After an encouraging draw against Tottenham in the Champions League and a welcome victory on Sunday against Toulouse (1-0), the Principality club continued with an exciting success on the pitch of FC Nantes on Wednesday, on behalf of the 10e day of Ligue 1.

Thanks to this victory and the poor performances of the other big names, PSG and Olympique de Marseille in the lead, ASM signed the very good operation of the day and is now in second place in the ranking with a small point behind the capital club.

But another piece of good news concluded the Monegasques’ evening at La Beaujoire. According to Sébastien Pocognoli, the new ASM coach, Paul Pogba is very close to a return to competition. So much so that he could be in the group on Saturday for Paris FC’s reception at Louis II.

Paul Pogba hasn’t played for more than two years

“It is possible that he will be reincorporated (into the group), said the Belgian technician. There is still training where there will be (workload), and if he feels good, we would be in the process that we had set, and it would not be illogical to see it. »

Arriving this summer in the Principality after almost two years without playing due to a suspension for doping, the former Mancunian, who has not played since September 3, 2023, had to deal with several small physical glitches during his preparation, the last at the beginning of the month when he was already on the way to returning to the field. But a muscle injury in his right thigh had postponed his comeback.
