Paris Saint Germain vs Monaco is set for Parc des Princes on 25 February 2026, with kickoff at 20:00 UTC in the UEFA Champions League Round of 32. PSG arrive 11th in the overall standings on 14 points, while Monaco sit 21st with 10 points, both chasing a place in the last 16.
Paris Saint Germain Availability
Luis Enrique faces several concerns. Quentin Ndjantou is ruled out with a muscle injury, while Fabián Ruiz misses out due to a knee problem, removing an experienced midfield option. Ousmane Dembele and Senny Mayulu are both listed as questionable with calf issues, which could affect PSG’s wide threat and rotation. However, key creator Vitinha, who has scored 5 goals and provided 1 assist in this Champions League campaign, is fully available, as is attacker Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, contributing 3 goals and 3 assists so far.
Monaco Availability
Monaco’s squad is heavily hit. Paris Brunner, Pape Cabral, Eric Dier, Aleksandr Golovin, Lukáš Hrádecký, Takumi Minamino, Kassoum Ouattara, Paul Pogba and Mohammed Salisu are all ruled out through various injuries or suspension, stripping depth from defence, midfield and attack. Further worries come with Maghnes Akliouche, Krépin Diatta and Chrislain Mawissa all questionable. Crucially, leading scorer Folarin Balogun, with 5 Champions League goals, remains available to spearhead the attack.
PSG appear in better health, retaining most of their creative core in Vitinha and Kvaratskhelia. Monaco, despite Balogun’s presence, travel with a depleted spine, especially in midfield and defence, which could tilt the balance towards the home side over 90 minutes.
