Denis Zakaria - Could be rested Saturday Zakaria could be rested for Saturday's clash against Lens after logging heavy minutes since returning from injury, coach Sebastien Pocognoli said in Friday's press conference, acco...

Impact Zakaria has locked down a starting spot with 12 straight starts for Monaco since working his way back from a long term groin injury, but he could get a breather in Saturday's matchup against Lens to make sure he is fully loaded for Wednesday's Champions League second leg against Paris Saint-Germain. If the staff decides to manage his minutes, Jordan Teze is in line for an expanded role in the starting XI, while Mamadou Coulibaly could be tapped to start before serving his suspension next week.

Maghnes Akliouche - Not training Thursday Akliouche (hip) wasn't spotted in team training Thursday and is a doubt for Saturday's clash against Lens, according to Christopher Roux from Nice Matin.

Impact Akliouche has been managing a lingering hip issue since the matchup against Nantes, and while he could have pushed through it for Tuesday's Champions League clash with PSG, the staff opted to hold him back. He was not in full team training two days out from Saturday's showdown with Lens, signaling he still needs more time to fully shake the problem. If the winger is unable to make the squad, expect Mika Biereth or Simon Adingra to step into an expanded role up top for the Diagonale and absorb more responsibility in the attacking rotation.

His availability will likely come down to how he feels physically in the final build-up to the upcoming fixtures. His status is one to watch closely, since he's a locked-in starter for the Diagonale when fully fit and brings real stability to the back line. Getting him back would be a meaningful boost defensively as the schedule tightens up.
