“Mentally, it’s becoming painful”: Paul Pogba, a fiasco made in Monaco

This Tuesday, February 17 in the evening, he will take his place in his dressing room. Far from the field, far from the game. After a return with great fanfare to Rennes on November 22 and two promising entries against Brest and PSG, Paul Pogba evaporated. Hit in a knee during a warm-up before a match against Galatasaray on December 12, 2025, then in a calf the next day in training, the midfielder never appeared again with AS Monaco.

Internally, no one knows when he will be able to return to training. To say the least, the Frenchman was not even included on the list of Monegasque players called up for the final phase of the Champions League, with coach Sébastien Pocognoli preferring to rely on “strong forces” for the play-off against Paris. With 93 European Cup matches played, he remains the most experienced player in the squad.
