Paul Pogba's Monaco Future Uncertain Over Knee Injury and Club Concerns
French midfielder Paul Pogba will miss AS Monaco's friendly against Getafe after a new knee problem was reported. The 33‑year‑old has featured in only six Ligue 1 matches this season, and his limited playing time has been compounded by questions about his attitude and determination, according to local reports.
Monaco’s general director Thiago Scuro reiterated that Pogba receives no special status and must earn his place under new coach Filipe Luís. Scuro added that if the player’s expectations diverge from the club’s, a discussion about a possible exit will take place. With Pogba’s contract running until 2027 and the club under pressure to reduce its wage bill, a departure before the summer transfer window is not ruled out. The situation mirrors concerns about teammate Eric Dier, who may also be evaluated for a move.
The club’s statements leave Pogba’s future on the Rock uncertain, pending his physical recovery and the outcome of preseason assessments.
