Even if he greatly appreciates the player, Bertrand Latour expressed some reservations against Paul Pogba, whose return from suspension for doping will happen more quickly than expected.
The twist came on Friday! Initially suspended for four years, Paul Pogba saw his sanction reduced to 18 months by the CAS, which should allow him to play again in March 2025. Suddenly, the 2018 world champion once again becomes an option for the France team in preparation for the next World Cup.
This prospect tends to rejoice Bertrand Latour.
“Given the state of our strength in midfield, a Pogba, even at 80%, it will be difficult to do without”estimated the new consultant of Canal Football Club.
On the other hand, the former journalist for the L’Equipe channel had a rant. “Only in football do we celebrate the return of a player suspended for doping like this”confided Bertrand Latour, comparing the reactions to the Pogba case with that concerning the tennis player Jannik Sinner cleared after a positive test, but whose image is tarnished.
Pogba at OM, a good idea?
Coming back to the athlete, the CFC mentioned the return to the field of Pogba, who should not be kept by Juventus. Margot Dumont then raised the possibility of seeing “La Pioche” follow in the footsteps of Adrien Rabiot by signing for OM.
But it’s not certain that Pogba will find a peaceful context in Marseille to get back on track. “At the beginning everyone will find it great, and after two matches we will say that this is no longer the Pogba we knew”warned Bertrand Latour, who continues to blow hot and cold about Pogba. “Pogba at OM, it would be risky, but it would be magnificent”he concluded.
