Paul Pogba’s tenure at Monaco has been dealt another blow following a fresh injury sustained during the club’s training camp in England. The midfielder picked up a left thigh injury on Tuesday while training at St George’s Park, just days after Monaco’s friendly victory over Liverpool. This latest setback comes as Pogba was only beginning to return to full training after recovering from previous right-knee complications.
The 33-year-old’s injury troubles have severely limited his availability since joining the Ligue 1 outfit. Last season, Pogba managed just six league appearances totaling 115 minutes of play following his return from a doping ban. With only one half of preseason football under his belt, reports suggest the midfielder remains significantly below the fitness standards needed for the upcoming French league campaign.
Pogba’s struggles have prompted speculation that Monaco may be considering ending their agreement with the veteran player prematurely. Sources indicate discussions between the club and the player’s representatives regarding a potential contract buyout, with his current deal set to expire at the conclusion of the upcoming season. The France World Cup winner’s career resurgence in his homeland appears increasingly uncertain.
