Paul Pogba joined Monaco in June after an 18-month absence from football following a doping ban. He last played professionally in September 2023 in a Serie A win over Empoli. Injuries have prevented Pogba from making his Monaco debut despite an initial three-month rehabilitation timetable that was later extended. Head coach Sebastien Pocognoli says he is cautious about projecting a return date and will assess Pogba on current performance, while observing that Pogba appears happy and focused when on the pitch. Pocognoli expects Pogba to offer leadership and mentor younger players once fully fit. Pogba aims for Didier Deschamps' 2026 World Cup squad.
