Christian Mawissa - Set for return Mawissa (undisclosed) has been named to the squad list for Friday's match against Lille.

Impact Mawissa is set for a return after being subbed off last match due to injury, with the defender making the squad list Friday. The defender had started in their last match and will hope to reclaim that spot, although he has gone unused six times while only appearing three times, so there is a solid chance he is left on the bench.

Edan Diop - Still out Diop (undisclosed) wasn't called up for Friday's clash with Lille.

Impact Diop wasn't included in the preliminary squad and remains injured. The midfielder has now missed more than two months, and even when he's fully fit it's doubtful he will actually come into the starting XI quickly.

Mohammed Salisu - Set for weeks out Salisu (hamstring) will miss multiple weeks, according to La Diagonale.

Impact Salisu picked up a hamstring injury with Ghana and is now set for multiple weeks on the sideline. The defender could be out until after the Novemeber international break, though his injury is still reportedly being assessed. Thilo Kehrer should see more chances in the coming weeks.

Ilenikhena has a chance to shine in Monaco's attack with Balogun injured

An injury to French leader Monaco’s main striker has given 18-year-old George Ilenikhena a golden opportunity to make a name for himself

OCTOBER 17, 2024 • Associated Press

Folarin Balogun - Out two months Balogun (shoulder) is set to miss around two months with a dislocated shoulder, according to Greg O'Keeffe of The Athletic.

Impact Balogun will be heading to the sidelines for a solid period of time, with the forward having been handed a dislocated shoulder. This will be a brutal blow for the club as he remains out for two months, with the forward holding a rotational role and starting in five of his nine appearances this campaign. That said, George Ilenikhena is set to see an increase in time with Balogun out, while Brett Embolo will likely remain the typical starter at forward.

Impact Ivan Nevistic clashed with a teammate and fell inside the box when rushing out for a corner, allowing Salisu to score from close range with a header. Salisu should earn most of his value via defensive stats, but the center-back is expected to be a menace in set-piece situations going forward due to his height.

Philipp Kohn - Gives up two goals in draw Kohn made one save and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Dinamo Zagreb.

Impact There's nothing Kohn could've done in the two goals he conceded, as one was a finish from close range, and the other one was a perfect long-range strike. Kohn remains a strong option goalkeeper, though, and he should have a more favorable matchup against Red Star Belgrade in the next UCL round after the international break. He should remain in a starting role for Monaco in the Ligue 1 as well.
