Pogba, the sentence falls

It’s been a long time coming, and we’ll have to wait again to see Paul Pogba at work in the AS Monaco jersey. While the Principality club has a meeting with OM this Sunday evening at the VĂ©lodrome at the end of the 16th day of Ligue 1, the Pickaxe will not be at this major meeting.

This Saturday, the bad news fell, anticipated already earlier in the week when the person concerned had felt muscular discomfort during training. Hit in the left calf, the 2018 world champion would suffer from an injury “ very light » but the Monegasque staff do not wish “ not take any risks », According to information from Agence France Presse.

33 minutes of play this season

Already on Tuesday, Paul Pogba was unable to take part in the Champions League match between Monaco and Galatasaray (1-0), then the victim of a “ small tension in the tendon in one knee triggered during warm-up “. For sure, after long months of inactivity due in particular to his one and a half year suspension for doping, the former Juventus and Manchester United star has not yet completely restarted the machine.

Paul Pogba officially returned to the field on November 22 against Rennes, for six minutes. Since then, the 32-year-old midfielder has played five minutes against PSG and 22 minutes last week in Brest. Note that the ASM coach, SĂ©bastien Pocognoli, will still benefit from the returns of Christian Mawissa and Eric Dier for the shock in Marseille.
