“His comeback is becoming more and more evident. We hope he’ll be back before the break and will prepare with the team during the international window. He’s focused on the squad. His recovery plan is clearly defined.” - said Sébastien.
Paul Pogba suffered his shinbone injury in early December 2025 and has already missed 14 matches.
Pogba joined the Monegasques in the summer of 2025, but a string of injuries has limited him to just 3 appearances, totaling only 30 minutes on the pitch.
His contract with Monaco runs until the summer of 2027, and his transfer value is estimated by Transfermarkt at 5 million euros.
