Monaco Says Pogba Available for Marseille Match

The cautious green light points to a possible first game since December after months of rehab.

Overview

  • Sébastien Pocognoli, who spoke Friday, said Paul Pogba is available and could make Monaco's squad for Marseille on Sunday.
  • The coach said the final call hinges on three training sessions still to come, with a joint decision if he is left out.
  • Pogba returned to full training in late March and scored after 25 minutes in a March 26 friendly against Brentford’s U23s.
  • He has not played since December 5 after a calf strain reported on December 13 kept him out for months.
  • His limited role shows in just 30 Ligue 1 minutes since joining in June and an earlier omission from Monaco’s Champions League knockout list when his return date was unclear.
