Pogba suffers new injury, raising doubts over future
The new setback highlights how far the Monaco midfielder remains from full fitness ahead of the Ligue 1 season.
Paul Pogba, the 2018 French World Cup winner, has suffered a new thigh injury during Monaco's preseason training camp in England. The incident occurred on Tuesday at the English national football centre St George's Park, following a friendly match against Liverpool on Sunday. The 33-year-old midfielder had been returning to group training after suffering from right-knee problems for an extended period.
Since resuming training, Pogba has only played a single half of a match for Monaco. According to sources familiar with the situation, the new injury indicates that Pogba is far from the fitness level necessary to commence the Ligue 1 season. Last year, Pogba played only six Ligue 1 matches for Monaco, accumulating just 115 minutes of playing time.
