Paul Pogba is going through one of the most delicate moments of his professional career, and his time at AS Monaco is at risk of ending sooner than expected. The French midfielder has been removed from the club's list for the crucial phase of the Champions League, a decision reflecting the club's growing lack of confidence in his physical condition.

As reported by the newspaper AS, the Monegasque entity has confirmed that Paul Pogba will not participate in the playoffs against PSG or the rest of the continental tournament in case of qualification. The official reason is an indefinite injury, but the context goes far beyond a simple physical setback.

The World Cup champion in 2018 is having a forgettable season. He arrived at AS Monaco in August with the intention of rejuvenating his career in Ligue 1, but his impact has been virtually non-existent.

Paul Pogba, a signing that never took off

The numbers are damning. Paul Pogba has barely played 30 official minutes across three matches since his arrival. His return to competition came on November 22 against Rennes after a two-year suspension for doping.

That comeback sparked excitement in the club and in France, but it was short-lived. Physical problems have once again hindered the player, preventing him from gaining consistency and competitive rhythm.

At AS Monaco, caution was chosen. His return was not rushed, given his long period of inactivity. However, the demanding schedule and the need to strengthen the squad have ultimately set a clear course.

Tough decisions with the Champions in mind

To face the European playoff against PSG, the Principality club needed to make room in the squad. Excluding Paul Pogba allowed the registration of players like Adingra, Krépin Diatta, or Faes, seen as more reliable short-term options.

The message is clear. In a competition of maximum demand, AS Monaco cannot afford physical uncertainties. The Ligue 1 and the Champions League do not wait, and the patience margin is reduced.

This decision has fueled speculation in France about a possible contract resolution. For now, the management will not make a final decision until June, when the season ends.

The dream of the national team fades

One of Paul Pogba's major goals was to regain his best form at AS Monaco to enhance his chances of returning to the French national team. The World Cup was on his horizon, though always a challenging target.

Unless a sporting miracle occurs in the coming months, a national team return seems utopian. The player's entourage acknowledges that donning the France jersey again is currently close to impossible.

Injuries, lack of continuity, and the passage of time have been closing doors. A career that peaked in 2018 has only faced setbacks since then.

A decisive summer for Paul Pogba

The current scenario hints at an inevitable outcome. Real doubts exist at AS Monaco about the sporting viability of the project with Paul Pogba as a key piece. If physical issues persist, the club will seriously consider his departure in the upcoming summer transfer window. No scenario is ruled out, including a mutually agreed termination or a new destination far from the Ligue 1.

Time is running out for Paul Pogba. Every week without playing is a missed opportunity to show that he can still make a difference at the highest level. AS Monaco needs immediate certainties. For now, Paul Pogba only presents uncertainties. And in elite football, that often marks the beginning of the end.
