"Former Manchester United midfielder Pogba signed for the Ligue 1 club in June after he was allowed to resume his playing career in March following a Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling that reduced his four-year doping ban to 18 months. Pogba was sanctioned at Juventus after testing positive for dehydroepiandrosterone in 2023. The World Cup-winner always maintained his innocence and was successful in his appeal, the CAS deeming his ingestion of the banned substance "not intentional.""
""I think the process for Paul is a process to make everything step by step. [On Monday] he joined with the group for the first time under my coaching. "He was smiling, he was enjoying and interacting with the players. For me, this is the first step and this step can take days, can take two to three weeks and then we can build on this through performance and the consistency."
Paul Pogba joined Monaco in June after being cleared to resume his career in March when the Court of Arbitration for Sport reduced a four-year doping ban to 18 months. The sanction followed a positive test for dehydroepiandrosterone at Juventus in 2023; the CAS found the ingestion "not intentional." Pogba was set to make his first appearance in over two years against Angers but suffered a fitness setback. New Monaco coach Sebastien Pocognoli reports Pogba has begun partial training, joined the group under his coaching, appeared happy and interactive, and may need days to weeks before full integration and match fitness.
