Paul Pogba has been left out of AS Monaco’s squad for the next stage of the UEFA Champions League.
The club submitted its updated roster list without the French midfielder, who has managed only 30 minutes of competitive football since returning to the game in recent months.
Limited Playing Time Since Return
Pogba’s omission follows a challenging period for the player. After completing a high-profile move to Monaco last summer, his return to action has been severely limited by fitness and form.
His sole appearance amounted to just half an hour off the bench, leaving him without the rhythm needed for European competition.
What This Means for Pogba and Monaco
The decision reflects Monaco’s immediate sporting priorities for the knockout stages, where squad consistency is crucial. For Pogba, the focus will now shift entirely to regaining full fitness and challenging for a place in the domestic Ligue 1 squad.
The club and fans will hope the 32-year-old can use this period to build his condition away from the European spotlight.
