Monaco’s Paul Pogba in line for further minutes, depsite late arrival for session?
Paul Pogba (33) almost doubled his minutes in an AS Monaco shirt when he came off the bench in last Friday’s 4-1 defeat to Paris FC, playing 21 minutes. Having signed a two-year deal in the summer, it was only in November that he made his debut and, three cameos later, he was once again unavailable. After sustaining a calf injury at the start of December, he missed a further three months of action. His return against Paris FC last week was a welcome one.

The players are fit, they’re available, and if they are, they all have a role to play,”*said the Monaco manager. With suspended for Sunday’s match against , Pogba may be in line for further minutes.
