Folarin Balogun made his comeback against Benfica last week. After dislocating his shoulder at the beginning of October against Stade Rennais, he came off the bench during the defeat against Benfica before starting against Olympique de Marseille a few days later.
However, the USMNT forward suffered a setback. Adi Hutter confirmed that Balogun was suffering from shoulder pain. He is therefore absent from the AS Monaco group for Saturday’s match against Toulouse FC. He is the only major absentee for The Monegasques with Krépin Diatta, Mamadou Coulibaly and Edan Diop also all missing from the Monaco squad.
In Balogun’s absence, Breel Embolo should lead the line. After suffering a slight illness midweek, Denis Zakaria is also expected to start.
Probable line-up of Monaco against Toulouse
Radosław Majecki; Christian Mawissa, Thilo Kehrer, Wilfried Singo, Jordan Teze; Lamine Camara, Denis Zakaria; Alexandre Golovine, Takumi Minamino, Maghnes Akliouche; Breel Embolo.
