"Monaco have dropped Paul Pogba from their Champions League squad for the knockout stages in order to make room for their January new signings, sources have told ESPN. Pogba, who will turn 33 next month, has not played since the start of December and has only featured three times this season for the club -- a pair of five minute cameos against Rennes and PSG in November and again off the bench against Brest."
"The France international 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. He now is recovering from a calf injury he picked up in early December -- which he is due back from in the next few days."
Monaco removed Paul Pogba from their Champions League knockout roster to free a slot for January signings Simon Adingra and Wout Faes, who are expected to be involved against PSG. Pogba, turning 33 next month, has only made three brief appearances this season and has not played since early December. He rejoined Monaco in June after an 18-month doping ban, struggled for fitness, and has suffered thigh, ankle and a recent calf injury. He is recovering from the calf problem and is due back in the coming days but is unlikely to start the playoff matches.
