French press reports, notably from the newspaper "L'Équipe," have revealed that French star Paul Pogba is close to making an official return to the field and participating with his new team, Monaco.

The 2018 world champion is expected to make his first appearance next Saturday when the Emirate team faces Stade Rennais in the French league. This long-awaited return marks a significant sporting event after a career filled with complications and suspensions that kept Pogba off the pitch.

This news comes to bring down the curtain on a long absence that lasted a full 26 months, the period during which Pogba was out of official competitions due to suspension-related reasons. Despite the difficulties and delays he faced in regaining his fitness and rejoining the squad, it seems that all arrangements are now in place for his return. Attention is now focused on the match venue to see how Pogba, with his vast experience, will handle the pressure and eagerness to play after this challenging period.

Monaco fans and French football enthusiasts have high hopes for Pogba to make a significant contribution to the team in the remaining half of the season, especially since his participation is a crucial step in his career to prove his ability to return to his usual level. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the Monaco coach's confirmation of including the French star's name in the squad for the important match on Saturday against Rennes, which could be a major turning point in the comeback story of one of the most prominent midfielders of the past decade.
