As reported by Sami Mokbel and confirmed by Sky, Paul Pogba (31) has had his four-year ban from playing football reduced by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and could be set to return to Juventus training as soon as January.
The France international midfielder has been serving a four-year ban from football following a doping test where he tested positive for a banned substance. Pogba was tested following a match for Juventus against Udinese. The 31-year-old played no part in the game and remained an unused substitute. An initial appeal for the ban was rejected.
However, following an additional appeal, it appears the former Manchester United midfielder’s appeal has been successful in the CAS with his four-year ban overturned. The player’s fine has also been dismissed as part of the ruling. Following the ruling, Pogba could return to training with Juventus in January and begin to play matches for the Bianconeri as soon as March.
