Paul Pogba sustained a fresh thigh injury this Tuesday while participating in Monaco’s training camp in England. The incident occurred at St George’s Park, the national football center, shortly after the team secured a friendly victory against Liverpool. This setback places his ongoing tenure with the Principality club in question.
The 33-year-old midfielder was just beginning to reintegrate into squad training following an extended absence caused by persistent right-knee issues. Having participated in only one half of a match during this pre-season, the latest medical concern suggests Pogba remains far from the physical condition necessary to participate in the upcoming Ligue 1 campaign.
Pogba’s recent history has been defined by limited appearances. Following the conclusion of an 18-month suspension for a doping violation, he managed only six league appearances for Monaco last season, accumulating just 115 minutes of play.
