Monaco predicted XI v Arsenal: Folarin Balogun, Denis Zakaria and Wilfried Singo out | OneFootball

Whilst Arsenal are contending with their own injury issues, AS Monaco must contend with multiple absentees as they prepare to face the Gunners in the UEFA Champions League.

Monaco are without Folarin Balogun, Denis Zakaria, Wilfried Singo, Christian Mawissa, and Krépin Diatta. Balogun, Adi Hütter revealed, will undergo surgery on his shoulder injury, suffered at the beginning of October before a flare-up last week. Zakaria is contending with a hamstring injury and may not feature until 2025, whilst Diatta has an adductor issue. Singo and Mawissa are both suspended for the tie against Arsenal.

The absences mean that Hütter is left with few options in many departments. Soungoutou Magassa will come in in midfield, Breel Embolo will lead the line, and Mohammed Salisu will come into the back-line for Monaco.
