Postponed several times, Paul Pogba’s big return to the field is taking shape! After more than two years without playing, the French midfielder (32 years old) is finally close to making his debut in the Monaco jersey, this Saturday against Rennes, during the 13e day of Ligue 1. “I hope so, but the last time I said it…”tempers SĂ©bastien Pocognoli, interviewed by AFP.

The “Pioche” was expected in the ASM group to face Paris FC but had suffered a sprained ankle in training, 48 hours earlier.
“I try not to get too far ahead of myselfadded the Belgian coach. All I can say is that when he is on the pitch I see someone happy and focused on getting back to the highest level. »

If he is indeed called up against the Bretons, there is still little chance of seeing him start the match. Holder, the French international is on the other hand for life in the heart of his former teammate in blue, Karim Benzema. The Al-Ittihad striker actually chose him in the midfield of his legendary eleven, alongside Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldinho.

Requested by the Spanish newspaper A.S.“KB9” also selects several of its ex-partners at Real Madrid: Sergio Ramos, Pepe and Marcelo in defense, as well as Cristiano Ronaldo in attack. A dream team completed by Manuel Neuer and Daniel Alves, but also Lionel Messi, accompanied by his youth idol Ronaldo Nazario. Very solid.
