Ex-Juventus and France star midfielder made his return to football, suiting up for Monaco in first game in more than two years after drug ban.
Paul Pogba made an emotional return to football with Monaco after a two-year absence due to a doping ban, participating in his first match since September 2023. The former Juventus player received a four-year ban in February 2024 for testing positive for DHEA, later reduced to 18 months on appeal. He played the final minutes in a 4-1 loss to Rennes, expressing gratitude for the crowd’s support and emphasizing his goal to regain full fitness. Pogba, a key figure in France’s 2018 World Cup victory, aims to prove himself for a potential return to the national team.
