Paul Pogba Back in Monaco Training, Ruled Out of Tottenham Clash

A step-by-step program follows the CAS decision that reduced his doping ban to 18 months.

Overview

  • New coach Sebastien Pocognoli said Pogba joined group training this week, looked in good spirits, and remains short of full fitness.
  • The midfielder will not feature in Monaco’s Champions League match against Tottenham at Stade Louis II.
  • Pocognoli’s home debut as Monaco head coach comes with a cautious, days-to-weeks plan to build Pogba’s readiness.
  • An anticipated first appearance against Angers was postponed after a fresh fitness issue delayed his Monaco debut.
  • Pogba signed in June after the CAS ruling, which followed a 2023 positive test for DHEA at Juventus that the court deemed not intentional.
