Monaco and Benfica face each other in the Champions League this Wednesday evening (9 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Principality club.
In a favorable bid to aim for the top 8, AS Monaco will try to confirm its excellent form on the European scene in a new gala poster, this Wednesday, against Benfica. A match that the Principality club is tackling with almost all its strong men.
The question concerns Falorin Balogun. “You will see if he will be in the group or if his return will be for the match against Olympique de Marseille (Sunday evening). He's on his way back, he's been training normally for a few days. Apart from him, Edan Diop is also back in training. Krépin Diatta is injured (adductor) »explained Adi Hütter at a press conference.
Golovin preferred to Minamino?
Beyond this center-forward position, the second surprise concerns the animation. While Minamino is also applying for a starting place, Golovin would leave with a head start for the position of central leader alongside the nuggets Akliouche and Ben Seghir.
« I am happy that (Alexandre) Golovine scored his first goal of the season against Brest (3-2, Friday evening), reported Adi Hütter. When you are a center forward, you sometimes lack success. But I have total confidence in our attackers. Breel (Embolo) is capable of scoring, George (Ilenikhena) too, (Folarin) Balogun may be back. Everyone is in good shape. » It remains to find the appropriate formula.
The expected line-up for Monaco : Majecki – Vanderson, Singo, Kehrer, Caio Henrique – Magassa, Camara – Akliouche, Golovin, Ben Seghir – Embolo.
