Aleksandr Golovin - Returns to bench Golovin (ankle) is on the bench for Friday's game against Montpellier.

Impact Golovin was deemed probable Thursday is back in the squad as expected. The Russian midfielder is a key player for Monaco both on the pitch and as a leader being one of the longest-tenured members of the team. He starts Friday's match on the bench likely with an eye toward Tuesday's crucial Champions League game against Aston Villa. When fully fit Golovin is a vital part of Monaco's lineup.

Christian Mawissa - On Bench Friday Mawissa (calf) is on the bench for Friday's clash against Montpellier.

Impact Mawissa returns to the bench after recovering from a calf injury that sidelined him for the last two league matches. While not fully fit to start, he may feature as a substitute and provide an impact if needed.

Takumi Minamino - In starting squad Minamino (illness) is in the starting squad for his return from illness to face Montpellier on Friday.

Impact Minamino missed last Friday's match against Nantes due to illness but is set to start against Montpellier this Friday after being deemed probable earlier in the past days.

Krepin Diatta - Back to sidelines Diatta is out for Friday's match against Montpellier, according to his club.

Impact Diatta is set to miss out again Friday despite his return in Coupe de France action, as the attacker needs a bit more time to recover following his bench appearance. He was left off the team sheet and back in recovery, hopefully not there much longer. Luckily for the club, this is a minor absence, only starting in one of his eight appearances this campaign.

Wilfried Singo - Still working on return Singo (back) is still working on his return from the back injury he sustained in the French Cup match against Reims, the club announced.

Impact Singo will miss Friday's game against Montpellier due to a back injury but is working on his return and could be available for Tuesday's UCL match against Aston Villa. Thilo Kehrer and Mohammed Salisu are expected to start in central defense on Friday.

Denis Zakaria - Picks up illness Zakaria (illness) won't be able to feature against Montpellier on Friday due to an illness, the club announced.

Impact Zakaria will miss Friday's game due to illness, which is a setback after recently returning from a calf injury. This is especially concerning with Monaco's important UCL match against Aston Villa on Tuesday. Aleksandr Golovin or Christian Mawissa Elebi could replace him in the midfield against Montpellier.
