Monaco host Paris Saint Germain at Stade Louis II on 17 February 2026, with kickoff at 20:00 UTC in the UEFA Champions League Round of 32. Monaco come in ranked 21st on 10 points, while PSG sit 11th with 14 points and a +10 goal difference.
Monaco Availability
The home side face a significant injury crisis. In defence, Eric Dier and Mohammed Salisu are ruled out, along with young defender C. Mawissa and full back K. Ouattara. First-choice goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky also misses out with a knee injury, increasing the pressure on Monaco’s back line. In midfield, Pape Cabral and Paul Pogba are unavailable, while Takumi Minamino is sidelined in attack with a knee problem. M. Akliouche and L. Camara are listed as questionable and will require late fitness tests, leaving Monaco’s depth badly stretched across all lines.
Paris Saint Germain Availability
PSG arrive in far better shape. Only Quentin Ndjantou Mbitcha and midfielder Fabián Ruiz are confirmed absentees. Crucially, key creators remain available: Vitinha, with 5 Champions League goals and 1 assist this season, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who has contributed 3 goals and 3 assists, are both expected to feature.
Monaco’s extensive injury list, particularly in defence and midfield, contrasts sharply with PSG’s relatively clean bill of health. With most of their attacking output intact through Vitinha and Kvaratskhelia, PSG appear better equipped in terms of squad depth and offensive firepower ahead of this knockout tie.
