Paul Pogba will reportedly make his long-awaited return from a hamstring injury when Manchester United host Newcastle United after the international break.
The France international has missed Man United’s last 12 matches after tweaking his hamstring during the Champions League clash with Basel at the start of September.
The midfielder travelled to Miami, Florida as part of his recovery, but has since returned to Carrington ahead of his first-team return.
The 24-year-old, who is valued at £67.5m by transfermarkt.co.uk, was not involved against Chelsea on Sunday afternoon, despite suggestions that he had completed a week of training.
According to The Mirror, Pogba’s return will arrive against Newcastle on November 18, where the Red Devils will be looking to bounce back from the defeat at Stamford Bridge.
Pogba, who has scored twice and provided two assists in his four Premier League matches this season, is one of four Man United players closing on a return as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marcos Rojo and Michael Carrick also near comebacks.
Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera started their fourth straight Premier League match as the midfield pair last weekend, and Pogba’s return would be a big boost ahead of key games against Arsenal and Manchester City towards the start of next month.
