Current Status (2026)
Following an 18-month doping ban that sidelined him in 2023–24, Pogba signed a two-year contract with AS Monaco in the summer of 2025 to rebuild his career.
As of early 2026, his return to Ligue 1 has been difficult. He has struggled with recurring injuries, including a calf issue, and has been limited to only a few appearances (roughly 30 minutes of game time) this season. Despite these setbacks, he remains focused on regaining fitness in hopes of a potential recall to the French national team for the 2026 World Cup.
