"Monaco midfielder Paul Pogba is set to make his long-awaited return from a doping ban this weekend. The 32-year-old joined the Ligue 1 club last summer, after his four-year doping ban was reduced to 19 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas). Pogba's last competitive appearance came in September 2023, when he featured for Juventus in a Serie A match against Empoli."
"However, Pogba is now expected to be named in Monaco's squad to face Rennes on Saturday. He was provisionally banned from football for four years after a positive test for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in February 2024, following a doping test in August 2023. Pogba maintained it was a mistake and that he was given a supplement without knowing it contained a banned substance."
Paul Pogba is expected to be named in Monaco's squad to face Rennes after completing a fitness build-up following a reduced doping ban and an ankle setback. The 32-year-old joined Monaco last summer after the Court of Arbitration for Sport reduced a four-year sanction to 19 months, and he was permitted to return to football in March. Pogba last played competitively for Juventus in September 2023. He was provisionally banned following a positive test for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and has maintained the presence of the substance resulted from an unknowingly provided supplement. A Monaco debut would be his first Ligue 1 appearance.
