Pogba's Comeback Hits Roadblock: Brother Reveals Mental Pain
11 Feb
Summary
- Paul Pogba struggles with a calf injury, sidelining him since December 5.
- His brother, Mathias, states the physical demands are mentally painful.
- Pogba's return to Monaco has been hampered by recurring fitness issues.
Paul Pogba's return to professional football with Monaco has been significantly disrupted by a recurring calf injury, which has kept him sidelined since December 5. This setback has led to his exclusion from Monaco's Champions League knockout stage squad.
His brother, Mathias, has shared that the current injury is proving "mentally painful" for Paul. He noted that the physical demands of re-entering elite-level football after a lengthy doping ban are substantial and that immediate full recovery was perhaps unrealistic.
Mathias expressed that while the family had hoped for a better immediate impact from Paul's return, the reality of adapting to the intense rhythm of top-tier competition has been a significant challenge for his brother's body.
