Paul Pogba's fitness coach is pleased with his fitness. The midfielder signed a two-year contract with Monaco last week. Pogba has not played since 2023 due to an 18-month doping ban.
"He has made incredible progress. His body has transformed, he has become very strong, his abdominal muscles are like concrete, it is incredible. He has regained his previous speed and ease with the ball. Gradually I began to see in him the qualities of the player we have been watching on TV all these years. He has not played for two years, so he has probably already returned to the daily life of the team and adapted to the environment that only a professional club can offer him."
"We did everything to keep him in good shape, but it is impossible to give him twenty best players as partners. In such an environment it will be easier for him to return to his previous level. He just needs time. How much is difficult to say. He will work, he will test his strength in the preparatory games. I think he will only need a few weeks after the start of the championship. In any case, it will not be easy, but he has worked hard and I have no doubt that he will do everything to succeed," said Roger Kaibe Rodriguez in an interview with L'Equipe.
