Ban Reduction and Implications: Initially handed a four-year suspension for testing positive for the banned substance DHEA, Pogba’s ban was reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. This decision came after Pogba contended that his ingestion of the substance was unintentional, linked to a supplement. The midfielder expressed relief and readiness to return, criticizing the original length of the suspension but accepting responsibility for not verifying the supplement’s contents.

Career Resilience and Future Goals: Pogba last played for Juventus over a year ago in a 2-0 win against Empoli. Despite the challenges, he has remained committed to returning to top form, stating, “I am ready to return to normal in 2025. I only have one desire, to play football.” His contract with Juventus runs until June 2026, and he is even willing to take a pay cut to facilitate his return.
