Monaco Drops Paul Pogba From Champions League Squad Ahead of PSG Playoff

Monaco reshuffled its list to register winter additions given his ongoing calf absence.

Overview

  • AS Monaco removed Paul Pogba from their Champions League roster before this month’s two-leg play-off against Paris Saint-Germain.
  • Mohammed Salisu and Takumi Minamino were also left out due to injuries, with Wout Faes, Simon Adingra and Krépin Diatta added in their place.
  • General manager Thiago Scuro said there is no clear timeline for Pogba’s availability, noting the medical staff is still working to clarify his condition.
  • Pogba has made only three brief substitute appearances this season, totaling about 30 minutes, and has not featured since early December because of a calf issue.
  • UEFA regulations allow squad changes ahead of the knockout rounds, and the play-off legs are set for Feb. 17 in Monaco and Feb. 25 in Paris.
