Original Title: [Le Parisien] “Mentally, it’s becoming painful”: Paul Pogba, a fiasco made in Monaco. Injured since December 2025, the French international has still not resumed training and has even been dropped from the list of players registered for the Champions League.
On Tuesday evening, February 17, he will take his place in his dressing room. Far from the pitch, far from the game. After a grand return to Rennes on November 22 and two promising appearances against Brest and PSG, Paul Pogba has vanished. Injured in the knee during warm-ups before a match against Galatasaray on December 12, 2025, then in the calf the next day during training, the midfielder has not reappeared with AS Monaco since.
Internally, no one knows when he will be able to resume training. In fact, the Frenchman wasn’t even included in Monaco’s squad list for the Champions League final phase, with coach Sébastien Pocognoli preferring to rely on “young blood” for the play-off against Paris. With 93 European Cup appearances to his name, he remains the most experienced player in the squad.
