Franco-Guinean star Paul Pogba included in Monaco’s squad for Stade Rennes clash

France international of Guinean descent Paul Pogba could mark his debut for AS Monaco this weekend after being included in their squad for the clash.

Pogba, a former World Cup winner has yet to feature for the French outfit after penning a two-year deal with the club due to fitness issues.

The experienced midfielder has been included in manager Sébastien Pocognoli’s squad for the match, signaling his immediate debut for the club on Sunday. His last appearance came on September 2, 2023.

The 32-year-old potential debut could mark a huge milestone, as his last appearance on the pitch dates back to September 2023, during his spell with Juventus in a match against Empoli.

Pogba was sidelined due to a failed doping test, which initially resulted in a four-year ban; however, in October this year, the court reduced his suspension to 18 months.

The experienced midfielder joined Monaco as a free agent following contract termination with Juventus after the conclusion of his doping ban, but due to injuries, he has yet to make his debut for the club.

Pogba was once considered as one of the best midfielder in world football, having played an integral role in France World Cup triumph back in 20218.

As gears up for his return to action, he will be hoping to regain his form and compete at the highest level.
