Paul Pogba returned to competitive football on Saturday after a long absence from the pitch. He featured in his team Monaco's 4-1 loss against Stade Rennais in the 13th round of the French Ligue 1.

The 32-year-old player's participation came after his first call-up by coach Sébastien Poconnoli. He entered the field in the 85th minute to applause from the fans, marking his first appearance since September 2023.

Pogba had been sidelined during this period due to a suspension related to a doping case. In addition, he suffered several injuries, making his return with the Principality team a significant event.

In the past period, Paul Pogba faced numerous difficulties, including his suspension due to a doping case. He also experienced an incident of detention under armed threat, and subsequent legal proceedings.

It is worth noting that Pogba was initially suspended from football for four years in September 2023. However, in October 2024, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) decided to reduce the ban to 18 months.
