Paul Pogba a doubt for Marseille trip after minor knee tendon twinge | OneFootball

Paul Pogba is a doubt for Monaco’s trip to Marseille on Sunday after feeling a minor tendon twinge in his knee. The issue emerged during Tuesday’s warm-up.

According to L'Équipe, head coach Sébastien Pocognoli said the midfielder was not at 100% in the 1-0 win over Galatasaray and trained for the first time since then. His availability will be decided on Saturday.

Christian Mawissa and Eric Dier are available for Sunday’s 20:45 kick-off after completing the required training. Ansu Fati is the only player ruled out.

Those returns will not alter the short-term set-up, as both need to reach match fitness. The team are seeking stability and greater creativity in their play.

The win has injected positive energy. It was a snapshot of their season, a tentative first half then a braver second with and without the ball. A good result against OM would offer hope of restarting the year towards their ambitions.
