Paul Pogba could return to football against Tottenham as Monaco debut timeline is revealed | OneFootball

The former Manchester United and Juventus star is one step closer to making his return to action

Paul Pogba could make his long-awaited return to football against Tottenham in the Champions League later this month.

Pogba became a free agent last November after reaching an agreement with Juventus to terminate his contract which was due to run until June 2026.

Monaco manager Adi Hutter recently confirmed the club were sticking to their three-month return to action plan for Pogba and delivered a timeline for the midfielder’s debut ahead of the Manchester City clash.

Hutter said: “We maybe expected him to be in the squad against Nice, but we may need to wait until Angers.

“We hope that, after the international break, he can play.”

Pogba, will therefore, miss Wednesday night’s home game with Pep Guardiola’s side as well as the Ligue 1 clash at home to Nice on Sunday afternoon.

However, if all goes to plan and the 32-year-old is available for selection after the international break, then he could feature in the league game away at Angers.

Furthermore, his home debut for Monaco could come against Tottenham on matchday three of this season’s Champions League with Spurs the visitors to the Stade Louis II in three weeks.

Pogba is eligible to feature in the league phase of the Champions League having been included in Monaco’s squad for the league phase by Hutter.
