Fortuna Sittard faces Groningen amid Paul Pogba transfer hoax

In the Dutch Eredivisie, Groningen is set to host Fortuna Sittard. Groningen enters the match in second place with six points following two consecutive victories, benefiting from a twelve-day rest period. Fortuna Sittard currently sits in eighth place and faces potential fatigue after playing two matches in the last 14 days.

Separately, a social media hoax involving a fake Fabrizio Romano account falsely claimed that Paul Pogba was joining Fortuna Sittard on a free transfer from AS Monaco. The prank, which included a fabricated ‘here we go’ announcement, was briefly picked up by some Portuguese sports outlets before being retracted.
