Stade Louis II hosts Monaco vs Paris Saint Germain in the UEFA Champions League Round of 32 on 17 February 2026, with kickoff at 20:00 UTC. Monaco arrive 21st in the overall standings on 10 points, while PSG sit 11th with 14 points and a +10 goal difference.
Monaco Availability
Monaco face a significant injury crisis. Pape Cabral (muscle injury), Eric Dier (injury), Lukáš Hrádecký (knee), Chrislain Mawissa (injury), Takumi Minamino (knee), Kassoum Ouattara (calf), Paul Pogba (calf) and Mohammed Salisu (knee) are all ruled out. Midfield options Maghnes Akliouche and Lamine Camara are listed as questionable, further stretching the squad. With so many defensive and midfield absences, attacking responsibility will fall heavily on forwards such as Folarin Balogun and Ansu Fati, who are expected to be available to carry Monaco’s threat in front of goal.
Paris Saint Germain Availability
PSG’s issues are lighter but still notable. Young attacker Quentin Ndjantou Mbitcha is out with a muscle injury, while midfielder Fabián Ruiz misses out due to a knee problem. Crucially, their main attacking contributors remain fit: Vitinha, with 5 goals and 1 assist in this Champions League campaign, is available, as is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who has produced 3 goals and 3 assists.
Monaco’s lengthy absentee list, especially in defence and midfield, could severely test their depth against a PSG side that retains the bulk of its attacking output. With Vitinha and Kvaratskhelia both available, PSG appear better placed in terms of squad health and firepower going into this tie.
