Pogba's Monaco spell set to end
Paul Pogba's Monaco contract is "set to be terminated" after the 33-year-old suffered a fresh injury.
The former World Cup winner joined the Ligue 1 side last summer after he was allowed to come back to professional football following a doping suspension. The former Manchester United star signed a two-year deal, which was due to run until the end of the forthcoming season, but his time at Monaco has been tragic, and pre-season this summer was seen by the club as crucial in determining whether he could contribute.
He played 45 minutes in one game before a recurrence of a knee injury last season kept him out of four matches. A change in manager from Filipe Luis to Sebastien Pocognoli will be a factor that could see Monaco head in a different direction.
Latest injury accelerates Monaco's decision
Pogba collapsed in severe pain in his leg during a training session, accelerating Monaco's decision to terminate his contract, according to L'Equipe and Nicemartin.com.
Pogba only returned to training last week but sustained a thigh injury in a small-sided game and was scheduled for an MRI this week.
Monaco have not yet commented on the situation.
