Paul Pogba thrilled to be back as Monaco lose to Paris FC

Paul Pogba expressed clear satisfaction after marking his latest return from injury with a lively cameo in AS Monaco’s emphatic 4-1 defeat to Paris FC on Friday night, underlining both his growing fitness and renewed importance to the side’s run-in.

The French-Guinean midfielder, who has endured a stop-start spell due to a calf problem, was introduced in the second half.

His reappearance carried added significance, representing another step in his recovery and a chance to rebuild rhythm at a crucial stage of the season.

Pogba’s composure and presence in midfield complemented Monaco’s attacking flow.

While he could not influence the scoreline directly, his contribution reflected a player regaining sharpness and confidence after time on the sidelines.

“On a personal level, it’s always good to be back on the pitch and try to help my team,” Pogba said.

“The cheers from the crowd really warmed my heart. Of course, I was focused on my own game, but I heard them clearly and it was really nice.”

His remarks captured both the emotional and professional dimensions of his return, with supporters clearly appreciative of his efforts.

The sight of Pogba easing back into action offers Monaco encouragement as they look to maintain momentum in the closing weeks.

“I feel great now, I’m trying to get some playing time and get back to full fitness, that will come with time.”

The midfielder stressed patience in his recovery process, acknowledging that consistent minutes will be key to rediscovering peak condition.

“I’m here to help the team as much as possible until the end of the season.”
