Paul Pogba has suffered another injury setback during pre-season training with AS Monaco. The former French international injured his left thigh during a small-sided possession drill at St George's Park in England, where the club is on a week-long training camp. He had only recently returned to full training after experiencing right knee discomfort. Pogba has played just 45 minutes this summer, in a friendly against Saint-Priest. Last season, he made only six appearances for Monaco totaling 115 minutes, following a doping suspension that ended his Juventus career. The extent of the new injury is unclear. Monaco coach Filipe Luis expressed hope that Pogba's experience would benefit the team's young players.
