Paul Pogba finally found a shoe at his foot. After almost two years without playing, in particular due to a suspension of 18 months for doping, the 32 -year -old French international decided to relaunch his career on the Monaco side, where he signed up for the next two seasons. It remains to be seen when the old Mancunian will be able to replay.
During his official presentation last week, Paul Pogba suggested that he was ready to play from 1era Ligue 1 day, against his training club Le Havre, the weekend of August 16-17. “” I hope to be there. It would be a great story, it's my training club. But for the moment, I have no return date. I have an XXL program. It is my body that will decide, and my mind too “Said the” pick “.
Yes but here, Thiago Scuro, the director general of the Principality club, quickly calmed the ardor of the 2018 world champion. “” I can guarantee you that Paul will not be able to be on the ground against Le Havre. He surely had to joke. You have to be realistic and honest. Because after such a long period without playing, the tricolor midfielder will need several months before being able to reconnect with the competition. At least three months, time to go back to the best of its form on the physical level “Said the Brazilian leader.
Pogba and Giroud, reunion pushed
And to add: ” We expect a three -month process to be able to rethletics. When you see it on TV, high level sport may seem easy, but you have to realize the requested intensity. And Monaco is one of the teams in Ligue 1 and in the most intense Europe in terms of game. So our players must be in good shape to be on the field. »»
From then on, we should not see Paul Pogba again on the field before October. Thus, in addition to missing the 1era Lifting the year 2025-2026, the native of Lagny-sur-Marne should give up the next match, against the LOSC. This would deprive him of reunion with his former teammate in the French team, Olivier Giroud, who comes to join the Lille club.
“I think that the French are happy that Paul Pogba, and myself, we are back in France”notably entrusted the top scorer in the history of the Blues during his presentation as a new Lille player. It will therefore certainly be necessary to wait until the return match between Monaco and Lille, on the occasion of the 33e Day, next May, for the big reunions.
