Paul Pogba, who has not played a competitive match since September 2023, could make his debut for AS Monaco soon, manager Sebastien Pocognoli said, stressing the need to temper expectations ahead of the midfielder's return.

The former Juventus and Manchester United player joined Ligue 1 club Monaco on a free transfer in June.
