Monaco have reportedly dropped Paul Pogba from their Champions League squad for the knockout stages in order to make room for their January new signings.
Pogba joined Monaco in June after an 18-month doping ban and initially struggled for fitness, before minor thigh problems and an ankle injury further ruled him out.
The former Manchester United midfielder has not played since the start of December and has only featured three times this season for the club.
Latest report from ESPN has now claim the World Cup winner has been dropped from Monaco’s Champions League squad to make way for Simon Adingra and Wout Faes.

Monaco signed Simon Adingra and Wout Faes in the January transfer window and they want them both involved for the Champions League playoff games against PSG later this month.
The pair are likely to be starters, which won’t be the case for Pogba.
Pogba, who will turn 33 next month was hoping a move to Monaco would revive his career. However, things has not turned out as planned and it’s left to see if he’ll get more playing in the league.
