The publication lequotidiendusport.fr compiled an anti-rating of failed transfers from the summer transfer window of clubs in the French championship. Ukrainian defender of PSG Ilya Zabarnyi, who joined this club from English Bournemouth, was also in this list.
Monaco midfielder Paul Pogba has fully recovered from his injury and is ready to play in the 13th round match of the French championship against Rennes.
As L’Équipe writes, this could be an important event for Pogba, as his last appearance on the field dates back to September 2023, when he was still part of Juventus in a match against Empoli. After that, the 32-year-old player was disqualified due to a failed doping test, which left him out of the game for 18 months.
Recall that Pogba joined Monaco this summer as a free agent after his contract with Juventus expired, but due to injuries, he has not yet debuted for the club.

It’s not a goalkeeper error. The players forming the last line of defense are at fault. They should chase down if necessary. You can’t push the line forward if there’s no pressure on the player with the ball. We talked about this situation at halftime, and we conceded the second goal in the same manner again. We need to fix these individual mistakes,» Enrique’s words are quoted by L’Équipe.
