Four months after the end of his suspension for doping (which was reduced by the Arbitral Tribunal of Sport), Paul Pogba still does not normally train. The 2018 world champion signed on AS Monaco on June 28 and is still to prepare individually at the Center of the Club, in La Turbie. However, at the exit of an internship in England which allowed him to discover his new teammates (who played two preparation matches), “the draw” explained last weekend in a live of the American influencer Ishowspeed, that he was going to resume training.
But Pogba still works alone in his corner, while Adi Hütter's players are growing three weeks from the start of Ligue 1 (with the reception of Le Havre on August 16). ASM moves to Germany for Armenia Bielefeld, promoted to the Bundesliga 2, Saturday (3 p.m.). The former Manchester United player, who came free, as well as Ansu Fati, loaned by Barça, are not part of the Monegasque group.
Two recruits, two uncertainties. Already ! This is not ideal for one of the supposed clubs competing with PSG in the title race and which will compete in the Champions League from September in the company of the winner of the C1 and OM (the OGC Nice, 3rd, faces Benfica in the 3rd round of qualifying for the competition).
Pogba absent, Ben Seghir too!
Eric Dier is the only summer recruit in the group of the Austrian coach. George Ilenikhena is back after a small muscle injury, while Eliesse Ben Seghir and Krépin Diatta are unavailable, at least officially. Ben Seghir has starting desires, except that his club imagines selling it nearly 50 million euros!
Aleksandr Golovin, Maghnes Akliouche, Takumi Minamino, Folarin Balogun, Mika Biereth and Breel Embolo are present in the group. Soungoutou Magassa and Christian Mawissa, barely returned from vacation after their semi-finals of the Euro Espoirs, will be traveling. The meeting is broadcast live on the YouTube channel of the Principality club.
