The decision allows him to begin training with Juventus in January 2025, with the possibility of participating in official matches by March of the same year.
Onefootball reports that the reduction of Pogba’s ban comes after an appeal process that considered various factors surrounding his case, including his cooperation with the investigation.
Initially suspended for testing positive for testosterone, Pogba’s situation has drawn considerable media attention given his high profile as a World Cup winning player.
Now, the sentence has reportedly been reduced on appeal by CAS, and Pogba could return to training as soon as January.
