Monaco vs Le Havre: Key Players Missing! What's the Score?
Monaco is set to face Le Havre in their upcoming Ligue 1 match, but they'll be without two key attacking players: Folarin Balogun and Breel Embolo. This news has sparked debate amongst fans, with some questioning the players' recent performances.
Why are Balogun and Embolo Missing?
According to reports, Balogun is sidelined with a minor thigh issue that also kept him out of a recent friendly against Inter Milan. Coach Adi Hütter is taking a cautious approach, not wanting to risk further injury. Embolo's absence, however, appears to be a purely tactical decision, as is the case with central defender Mohammed Salisu.
Probable Lineups for Monaco vs Le Havre
Here's a look at the predicted starting lineups for both teams:
- Monaco: Lukas Hradecky – Dier, Henrique, Mawissa, Teze – Camara, Zakaria – Golovin, Akliouche, Minamino – Biereth
- Le Havre: Diaw – Zouaoui, Lloris, Youte, Sanglante – Ndiaye, Seko – Namli, Kechta, Mambimbi – Soumare
What the Fans are Saying
The absence of Balogun and Embolo has generated mixed reactions from Monaco supporters. Some express concerns about their form and unmet expectations, while others believe it presents an opportunity for younger players to shine. Some fans have even suggested that the club should consider selling them.
Other Monaco team news includes Soungoutou Magassa being suspended, while Ansu Fati and Paul Pogba are continuing to build their fitness and are nearing a return to the squad.
Monaco will need to find a way to overcome these absences and secure a positive result against Le Havre. Will the younger players step up and make a difference? All eyes will be on the Stade Louis-II this Saturday.
