Paul Pogba ‘Getting Closer’ to Monaco Debut as Adi Hutter Provides Positive Fitness Update

Paul Pogba is edging closer to making his Monaco debut, with coach Adi Hutter offering an encouraging update on the French midfielder’s recovery and fitness progress.

The 32-year-old made the move to Monaco over the summer, his first club since receiving a doping ban while at Juventus.

Pogba hasn’t played a competitive game of football since September 2023, but he is now edging closer to making his first Monaco appearance.

In the pre-match press conference, Hutter addressed Pogba’s condition, saying: “We can't compare Paul Pogba's situation (with Ansu Fati's). Fati is much younger than Paul. Ansu has been training for a long time. Today, Paul is being used more and more.”0

He added: “We're in our process. We've given ourselves three months. He's getting closer to the group. He's physically and mentally well.”

However, Hutter has no intention of rushing Pogba back, however, saying: “It's a consideration. With the injured, we have a look at that, but it makes no sense to bring someone in just to say we have someone.”
