August 12, 2026Carlos Mendoza1 мин

Paul Pogba is experiencing a difficult period, as the Monaco midfielder was forced to leave training today, visibly limping. According to 'Nice Matin', the former Juventus player collapsed to the ground in tears, crying out before being helped off the field by medical staff, who then bandaged his left thigh. The club is currently in camp in England in preparation for their match against Coventry on Friday, August 14th.

A Brief Pre-Season Appearance

Pogba has only managed 45 minutes of play during this pre-season, in the first friendly against Saint-Priest, which Monaco won 5-2. Since then, the French international has missed games against Sporting Lisbon, Cercle Brugge, Getafe, and Liverpool due to a right knee issue. Although Pogba had recently returned to group training, he has now suffered another setback. His future at the club, which was reportedly dependent on his summer preparation, as stated by general manager Thiago Scuro, is now further complicated by this latest injury. French media reports suggest that Monaco has already offered Pogba a contract termination effective September 1st, allowing him to seek a new club. The final decision rests with the player.
