Pocognoli’s Take on Paul Pogba’s Current Form

This Friday, Monaco’s new coach, Sébastien Pocognoli, held a press conference ahead of the match against Toulouse. The Belgian manager, who began his tenure with two draws, addressed the situation regarding Paul Pogba. The French midfielder is nearing his return, but Pocognoli mentioned that patience is still required.

“We need to push a bit more during the coming week, as it’s important for him to be in the best condition for his return. There’s excellent communication between him and the medical staff to ensure he arrives as prepared and confident as possible. I hope the upcoming week will answer the last questions we have. He is close, but some steps remain. Specifically, he needs to train at full intensity for the entire session, which he hasn’t done yet. I believe we’re still a few weeks away. We’ll see if it happens before the break. However, it’s great to see him back on the pitch and reuniting with his teammates. It also gives me a chance to get to know him, not just off the field but now on it as well.”
