Former midfield star Paul Pogba in line for Monaco debut

MONACO: Former midfield star Paul Pogba could make his Monaco debut on Saturday after being named in the squad for the trip to Ligue 1 rival Rennes. The 32-year-old Frenchman was once among Europe’s best goal-scoring midfielders but has not played for over two years in a career derailed by injuries, off-field problems and a doping ban. Pogba recently overcame a minor ankle injury and resumed training with Monaco during the international break. He signed with Monaco during the offseason on a two-year contract in a bid to relaunch his career.
