"Paul Pogba's four-year ban for a doping offence has been reduced to 18 months after winning his appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).

Sources close to the 31-year-old Juventus midfielder told BBC Sport he can resume training in January 2025 and will be eligible to play again from March."

Paul Pogba: Juventus and France midfielder has doping ban reduced to 18 months

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Como and cesc continue to impress. Even tho they’re currently losing.

Paz passes the eye test so far

They've looked really good everytime I've watched, but have been unlucky with the results. To be expected.

Paz is fantastic.

 

[gary69]

Retegui with a hattrick against his last season's club Genoa, who Atalanta trashed 5-1.

If Man Utd decide to change managers this season, they should really hire Gasperini. His age shouldn't matter, he would make them play pretty football and be exciting to watch for a couple of seasons. Would just bring positive atmosphere back into club.

He usually also makes player overachieve, especially attacking players.

 

[gary69]

Zapata scores for Torino to make it 1-2 against Inter, even with a man down.

With that goal, Zapata is tied with Dybala for most goals in Serie A (124) by active players. Belotti is third, Lautaro Martinez 4th and Vlahovic 5th.

 

[gary69]

Thuram with his first Serie A hattrick to make it 3-1 for Inter at an hour mark.

 

[gary69]

Juve could only draw at home against Cagliari. Vlahovic missed an empty netter around 80 mins and then Douglas Luiz caused a stupid late PK, which earned Cagliari a point.

In the ongoing evening match, Maignan saved Moise Kean's spot kick, after Fiorentina got the PK rather easily, with Theo Fernandez slight touch on opponent's when he cleared the ball.

Damn, Adli (on loan from Milan) makes it 1-0 for the hosts.

And now late in the first half De Gea saves Theo's PK. And De Gea saves another PK in the 2nd half, this time from Tammy Abraham.

Milan finally back on level terms as Pulisic scores from Theo's cross.

Viola won 2-1 in the end. Even though he didn't score today, Moise Kean had a heck of match. Theo loses his cool after the final whistle and is shown a red card.

De Gea saved two penalties!? He's notoriously bad at it.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

They were both pretty decent pens too.

Pulisic's finish was a thing of beauty.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Como dominate but that was lethal counter by Parma and a Zlatan like finish by Bonny

 

[gary69]

Iker Bravo with his first start for Udinese against Milan. Milan have benched Leao & Abraham, and replaced Tomori with Thiaw.

 

[gary69]

Somehow Milan survive to win 1-0 despite being a man down for more than an hour (Reijnders sent off for clipping opponents foot for DOGSO, although a case could be made that opponent putting an arm to Reijnders chest caused him to stutterstep in the first place).

Milan helped with VAR for ruling out Udinese's goals.

 

[luiginb]

Exciting match in Cagliari against Torino, 3-2 inside 80 minutes with a lot of ebbs and flows, both teams taking turns looking dominant.

 

[luiginb]

Former Cluj GK Scuffet with some late heroics to help Cagliari win their first home game of the season and go 5 points away from the relegation zone.

 

[gary69]

Inter with a hard fought 1-0 win against Roma in a tough away match. With his goal Lautaro Martinez becomes all time leading foreign goal scorer in Inter's Seria A history.

 

[LesCactus]

They've looked really good everytime I've watched, but have been unlucky with the results. To be expected.

Paz is fantastic.

I see why Real has a buy back clause in place.

 

[luiginb]

Cagliari's Makombou isn't a Serie A level player...

 

[gary69]

Lucca just headed Udinese ahead.

Weird seeing 204 cm tall guy playing left back. Isaak Toure, French player on loan from Lorient to Udinese.

 

[luiginb]

I wonder why Udinese are playing with that racist frog meme on their shirt

 

[Incubajerks]

I wonder why Udinese are playing with that racist frog meme on their shirt

I think they are also wondering this in Friuli itself....

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Not the best I’ve seen from como but they should be up by now.

Paz can really strike a ball. His next English club is gonna be happy

 

[luiginb]

I'm very confused as Empoli score away at Parma after an obvious offside that neither the linesman nor VAR seemed to catch. And we're not getting any lines or automated offside replays...

 

[luiginb]

Parma get one back through Charpentier and then in the 83rd minute miss a penalty by Bony... Third consecutive draw for the newly promoted, and I think they haven't won a game since the Milan one seven games ago.

 

[gary69]

Zielinski puts Inter ahead against Juve from the spot after 15 mins. He hasn't played that much so far this season, but got his chance today.

But Juve back immediately, Vlahovic from close after McKennie's layoff, when they were on a 2-1 counter attack.

 

[KlausJopling]

what a tricky player Conceicao is. Made that goal.

Now Juve ahead! They're playing a very young team against Inter tonight, especially for their standards
