Paul Pogba on his way out, Ansu Fati often absent, Eric Dier future unclear at Monaco

Paul Pogba’s spell at Monaco is drawing to a close, while Ansu Fati’s frequent absences and doubt over Eric Dier’s future at the club are raising questions.

According to L'Équipe, on 31 July at La Turbie, Ansu Fati and Paul Pogba, in flip-flops, watched team-mates from a small embankment by the quarry at Monaco’s training centre, each working back on an individual programme.

Eric Dier, by contrast, was available to play. He captained the youngsters during the second hour of a friendly against Cercle Bruges, which finished 2-2.

That involvement was more incidental.

None of the three marquee signings from last summer’s window were included among the presumed starters.
