Paul Pogba
ASM
Out for six weeks
Pogba will be out for six weeks with the left thigh injury suffered in training earlier this week, according to Yassine Mergoum of Made in Monegasque.
Analysis: Pogba's fitness struggles continue to pile up since his arrival at Monaco, and this latest setback comes not long after he had only just returned to action, playing the second half of a preseason friendly against St-Priest. Several reports now suggest Monaco could move to terminate his contract as a result, adding fresh uncertainty to his future at the club as the new coaching staff continues managing his situation.
Suffers new thigh injury
Pogba suffered a left thigh injury in training Tuesday, letting out a cry and going down during a training exercise, according to Christopher Roux of Nice Matin.
Analysis: Pogba had only recently returned to fitness, playing the second half of a preseason friendly against St-Priest after a previous campaign ravaged by injury that limited him to just six appearances. This latest setback is a discouraging development so soon after that positive step, and further clarity on the severity of the issue will be needed as Monaco continues managing his return under the new coaching staff of Felipe Luis.
Fit to play in friendly
Pogba (undisclosed) is back fit and played the second half of Saturday's friendly against St-Priest, the club posted.
Analysis: Pogba's inclusion in the squad is an encouraging step after another injury ravaged campaign limited him to just six appearances last season (one start), with two shots, four tackles, one interception and five clearances to show for it. His availability for a preseason friendly is a positive sign following his return to team training, and his workload under new coach Filipe Luis will be worth monitoring closely as Monaco hopes to finally get sustained use out of the midfielder heading into the 2026/27 season.
Resumes training in preseason
Pogba has resumed team training in preseason with Monaco, the club posted.
Analysis: Pogba's return to the training ground is a small positive step after another injury ravaged campaign limited him to just six appearances, including one start, with two shots, four tackles, one interception and five clearances to show for it. He will need a fully healthy preseason to have any chance of rediscovering consistent form, and his workload under new coach Filipe Luis will be worth monitoring closely as Monaco hopes to finally get sustained use out of the midfielder heading into the 2026/27 season.
Dealing with knock
Pogba (undisclosed) has been ruled out of Sunday's season finale against Strasbourg due to a knock, according to the club.
Analysis: Pogba ends what has been another deeply frustrating campaign plagued by injuries with just six appearances (one start), contributing two shots, four tackles, one interception and five clearances across that limited spell. The French midfielder has struggled to establish any consistent run of form at Monaco since his arrival, and the club will hope a full pre-season can help him rediscover the level that once made him one of the best players in the world heading into the 2026/27 campaign.
