Pogba listed in Monaco’s Champions League squad

Paul Pogba is edging closer to his first appearance for AS Monaco after being named in the club’s Champions League squad.

The French midfielder, who signed for Monaco in July, is yet to make his debut as he continues working his way back to full fitness.

Fans had been eagerly waiting to see Pogba in action since his move, and his inclusion in the European squad signals that the wait may soon be over.

Pogba, 32, arrived at Monaco looking for a fresh start after his troubled spell at Juventus, where injuries and off-field issues limited his impact.

With Monaco placing him in their Champions League list, the stage is now set for the World Cup winner to return under the brightest lights of European football.
