AS Monaco CEO Thiago Scuro admitted their plan for Paul Pogba isn't working. The midfielder, limited to 30 minutes since joining, suffered a calf injury after his long-awaited return. Pogba, who wept when signing his two-year deal, is frustrated by his inability to stay fit for the struggling Ligue 1 club.

Pogba's comeback attempt follows an 18-month doping ban that was reduced from four years. His last World Cup appearance was nearly four years ago. Monaco, sitting ninth and 17 points behind Lens, hoped the former Juventus and Manchester United star could reignite their season, but injuries have repeatedly derailed that ambition.

Scuro hinted at contract clauses that could end the partnership early, stating the parties will reassess in the summer if solutions aren't found. While Pogba dreams of playing in North America next year, his current reality involves treatment tables rather than Ligue 1 pitches. His career reboot remains stalled before it truly began.
