Paul Pogba nears his long-awaited Monaco debut following an 18-month doping ban. The 32-year-old signed a two-year deal in July, chasing redemption and a France recall ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Head coach Sebastien Pocognoli confirmed Pogba could rejoin the squad to face Paris FC after passing final workload tests. Pogba’s return hinges on medical clearance after progressive conditioning, monitored sprint sessions, and reaction drills. Monaco plan to ease him through late-game cameos before restoring midfield balance around Fofana and Zakaria. His reintegration is viewed as both a competitive and symbolic milestone in Monaco’s title and European qualification ambitions.
