Paul Pogba Makes Monaco Comeback in 4-1 Loss to Paris FC

Monaco frames the return as a late-season test of his fitness.

Overview

  • Pogba, who entered in the 69th minute on Friday, made his first competitive outing since December 5 in Monaco’s 4-1 defeat at Paris FC.
  • The 33-year-old had been out for about four months with a stubborn calf injury after earlier knee problems this season.
  • This was only his fourth Ligue 1 appearance of the campaign, underscoring how little he has played since joining Monaco.
  • He told reporters he is with Monaco “for the long run” and set a goal of building to a full 90 minutes to help the run-in.
  • Club director Thiago Scuro has said the parties will review his role in the summer if his fitness or impact do not stabilize.
