AS Monaco will have to adapt their lineup without Aleksandr Golovin, who is injured, as they face Stade Brestois in a crucial match in Ligue 1.
Full Story:
AS Monaco will face Stade Brestois without Aleksandr Golovin, their key player, who is expected to be out for five weeks due to an ankle injury. This comes as a blow for coach Adi Hütter as the team enters the final sprint of the Ligue 1 season. Golovin, 27, has been involved in 12 goals this season, scoring six and providing six assists in 25 matches. In addition to Golovin, Monaco will also miss Ismail Jakobs, Guillermo Maripan, and Thilo Kehrer for the clash against Stade Brestois. To cope with these absences, Monaco is likely to field a 4-4-2 formation, with Salisu-Singo as the central defensive partnership and a striking duo of Balogun-Ben Yedder. Akliouche and Minamino will be tasked with leading Monaco’s attacks in the absence of Golovin. Ben Seghir and Diatta could also be potential solutions to fill the void left by the injured Russian international. The probable line-ups for the match are: Monaco – Majecki, Vanderson, Singo, Salisu, Ouattara, Akliouche, Fofana, Zakaria, Minamino, Balogun, Ben Yedder; Brest – Bizot, Lala, Chardonnet, Brassier, Locko, Magnetti, Martin, Camara, Del Castillo, Satriano, Pereira-Lage.
