"I can guarantee you that Paul will not be able to be on the pitch against Le Havre (on August 16). He must have been joking. We must be realistic and honest." At the time of Paul Pogba 's presentation in Monaco on July 3, Thiago Scuro had to correct his player's comments, eager to return to the pitch as soon as possible after more than two years of absence. Dreamy, the 2018 world champion perhaps imagined a nice storytelling with a debut against his training club, Le Havre, on the first day of the championship .
Apparently, he'll have to wait a little longer, probably until October, a date that had been mentioned in the press in recent weeks. For the moment, at least, Pogba is on schedule. "They're working on their physical structure, their balance. You can't compare the two. I think Ansu is a little closer to joining the team. At Barcelona, he wasn't able to work as he should. We're trying to get him back up to speed, we can't do it too soon. We're being careful. They're both hungry for the ball. They'll get closer in the coming weeks , " Adi Hütter said three weeks ago about Fati and Pogba.
"Seeing a great Paul Pogba on the pitch is what I'm preparing for."
Since then, the former Turin player has resumed training with a ball, but always within the framework of personalized monitoring. While he remains in contact with the group in daily life, the Frenchman is currently still training alone. But with appetite, as he confided this Friday to beIN Sports , before the kick-off of Monaco - Inter Milan . "We're getting back to football, I'm like a kid, right now I'm getting ready to join my teammates on the pitch, that's the goal. The form? Very good, very good staff, they take very good care of me, it's just a matter of time to be in top form and give everything on the pitch ," he said.

"It feels good to be able to talk, to have teammates around me. I don't regret my choice in any way, every day I thank God for being here, in a good group, a very big club, with people determined for me to make my big comeback. There are stages, for me, it's about preparing myself well. I don't want to come on the pitch and not be me, Paul Pogba. I think everyone is waiting for that, to see a great Paul Pogba on the pitch. That's what I'm preparing for." To the great delight of football fans.
