Matias Pogba: "We expected more from Paul's return"

Matias Pogba, brother of Monaco midfielder Paul Pogba, spoke about his relative's return to professional football after a doping ban.

Idman.Biz reports that Matias Pogba is a former player of the Guinea national team.

"It's a shame not only for him, but for the whole family. I told him that he can't be in 100% form right away. We expected more from his return, but that's the reality. His body is not used to this kind of workload and intensity; we are not robots. When you return to the game, you have to do it gradually, otherwise your body will start sending you certain signals, which is what happened to Paul.

We are patient and enduring, and Paul will also need to be patient to return to his best form. He works hard, but the hardest part is the mental aspect. There are high expectations of you. You are full of enthusiasm, and then you get another blow to the back. You have to constantly work to recover, that's all. I want to get back on the field, but my body tells me that I don't need to rush, that I need to be patient. We have always taken everything day by day," Matias said.
