Paul Pogba Faces a New Setback With His Injury While Training With Monaco
The French midfielder of AS Monaco is said to have suffered a left thigh injury during training.
A new twist of fate
Paul Pogba, world champion in 2018, had resumed team training with AS Monaco, but the return was short-lived. The French midfielder suffered another physical setback when, during practice, he collapsed due to severe pain in his left leg. According to the newspaper Nice-Matin, Pogba let out a scream before falling to the ground, which immediately alarmed the coaching staff and his teammates. Filipe Luis and other players approached to give him support with gestures of encouragement, while the footballer left the field with his leg bandaged.
A season marked by absence
The episode occurred this Tuesday, August 11, 2026, and represents another tough obstacle in the career of the former Juventus player, who had already been dealing with knee problems for weeks. The situation worsens considering that Pogba barely played 115 official minutes last season. In the current preseason, he had only been able to add 45 minutes against Saint-Priest, which reflects the difficulty in regaining continuity and competitive rhythm.
Uncertain future in the Principality
The expectation in Monaco was that Pogba would bring his hierarchy and experience to the midfield, relaunching his career after an uneven stint in Italy. However, injuries continue to be a recurring obstacle. This new twist of fate raises questions about his immediate future and forces the club to rethink its strategy in the central area of the field.
