French midfielder Paul Pogba has suffered a thigh injury, casting further doubt on his future at AS Monaco. The 2018 World Cup winner had only recently returned to team training after a prolonged battle with knee issues.

The 33-year-old Pogba sustained an injury on the very first day of Monaco's training camp in England, where they played a friendly against Liverpool on Sunday (a 3-2 victory). According to AFP, he will not be fit for the start of the new Ligue 1 season.

After serving an 18-month doping ban, he made only six league appearances last season, totaling just 115 minutes on the pitch. He remains under contract with the club until the summer of 2027.
