Paul Pogba sustained an injury to his left thigh during a team training session this Tuesday. He had only just returned to group training a few days prior, after experiencing discomfort in his right knee. The midfielder is currently at Monaco's training camp in England, having played a mere 45 minutes in pre-season friendlies so far.

According to the newspaper "Nice-Matin," the Monaco midfielder reportedly screamed before collapsing to the ground during a ball drill. He left the pitch with a significant bandage. Monaco's new coach, Filipe Luis, and some of his teammates offered encouragement with friendly pats.

During this pre-season preparation, Pogba has only seen 45 minutes of action. This came in the first friendly match against Saint-Priest (a 5-2 victory for Monaco), where he played the second half wearing the captain's armband. Since then, he has missed games against Sporting, Cercle Brugge, Getafe, and Liverpool due to issues with his right knee. Pogba had only just managed to rejoin full team training a few days ago.

After arriving in Monaco last summer, following a lengthy ban for doping and his departure from Juventus, Paul Pogba has been plagued by a series of physical setbacks. He managed to play just six matches, totaling 115 minutes, for the Monegasques last season.
