AS Monaco travel to Orléans on Saturday 10 January 2026 for the Coupe de France last 32 at 15:30, with Sébastien Pocognoli set to welcome back only captain Denis Zakaria after serving his ban against Lyon.

According to Nice-Matin, the Belgian told Thursday’s press conference the list of injured and absentees remains unchanged two days before the tie.

Ansu Fati has only resumed partial training over the past two days, so is not ready to rejoin the squad. Given previous setbacks, the staff will proceed cautiously.

Vanderson, who missed Lyon with a quadriceps issue, remains out. He has returned to on-pitch work and will be reassessed next week, but it is not enough for a recall.

Paul Pogba, dealing with a calf problem, is still outside the group. Pocognoli is missing 10 players in total, Hradecky, Minamino and Salisu with knee injuries, Mawissa, Vanderson, Fati and Cabral with thigh issues, Pogba with a calf injury, plus Diatta and Camara at the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal.

Takumi Minamino and Mohammed Salisu have undergone surgery after anterior cruciate ligament ruptures in the past two days, the former in Japan and the latter in Lyon. Both are ruled out for the rest of the season.
