"Pogba put pen to paper on a two-year contract with Monaco last June but has made just three appearances in all competitions, totalling a mere 30 minutes of action. The 32-year-old made his debut for the club as a substitute in a defeat to Rennes in November, marking his first competitive outing in 811 days following a two-year doping ban."
"However, he has been hampered by a left calf injury he sustained in training, which has kept him sidelined for a month and added further frustration for both Pogba and his club. "The program and the plan for Paul is not working the way we expected in the beginning," Scuro said on Wednesday. "He is very disturbed by the fact that he is struggling, [he wants] to be more available, to increase the minutes on the pitch.""
"And while Scuro hopes Pogba will return to the fold, he hinted at unspecified clauses in his contract that could lead to his stay being cut short. "If it does not work, for sure, the parties can sit down in the summer and try to have another discussion. Where do we go?" he said. "It's not the moment to have this discussion because we are engaged in trying to find the solution and bring him back.""
Paul Pogba signed a two-year contract with Monaco in June but has played only three matches, totalling 30 minutes. He made his first competitive appearance in 811 days after a two-year doping ban. A left calf injury in training has sidelined him for a month and compounded the club's frustration. Monaco chief executive Thiago Scuro said the rehabilitation program is not producing the expected results and that Pogba is disturbed by his lack of playing time. Monaco sit ninth in Ligue 1, 17 points behind leaders Lens. Scuro signalled contract clauses could allow a summer reassessment if fitness does not improve.
