Paul Pogba scored in a friendly match against Brentford, marking a significant comeback for the former France star. The 2018 World Cup winner, who joined Monaco on a two-year contract last summer, has been out of action due to a persistent left calf problem. Pogba has played only about 30 minutes since making his debut at the end of November, but his return to light training has now seen him score in a match. Monaco's bid for a Champions League spot next season could be boosted by Pogba's return to action.
Monaco is sixth in Ligue 1 with seven rounds remaining, and a top-three finish would secure direct qualification for next season's Champions League. Coach Sébastien Pocognoli has turned Monaco's fortunes around, with the team on a six-game winning run and just three points behind third-place Marseille. Pogba has a chance to play in Monaco's upcoming matches, including their game against Marseille on April 5, or their next game against Paris FC on April 10.
Paul Pogba's return to action is a welcome boost for Monaco's Champions League aspirations. The former France star's goal-scoring ability could be the difference-maker for the team as they push for a top-three finish. With Pogba's experience and skill, Monaco will be looking to capitalize on their momentum and make a strong push for a Champions League spot. A successful campaign would be a significant achievement for the team and a testament to Pogba's dedication to his comeback.
