Folarin Balogun is more than uncertain for Monaco's match against Lyon due to an ankle injury.

He was expected to continue, but will ultimately have to watch the 33rd matchday of Ligue 1 from the bench or the stands. Sidelined for months with a shoulder injury, Folarin Balogun had regained playing time in recent weeks before starting again. Last Saturday, the American striker started on the pitch against Saint-Etienne and even scored AS Monaco's third goal (3-1).

A few more hours to decide

According to our information, Adi Hütter had planned to line him up again this Saturday evening for the reception of Lyon, but an episode has reshuffled the cards and should force the Austrian technician to adapt. As indicated by some supporters on the social network X early this evening, Balogun did indeed suffer an ankle injury during contact and would no longer feel like playing the 33rd matchday of Ligue 1, against Lyon, this Saturday evening at the Stade Louis-II (9 p.m.). With a final training session scheduled for this Saturday morning, no squad has yet been announced by the club and it is possible that the coach is still refining his choices. But it is now very likely to see Breel Embolo start the match alongside Mika Biereth.

Respectively returning from injury and suspension, Thilo Kehrer and Lamine Camara should return to the eleven, to the detriment of Christian Mawissa and Soungoutou Magassa.
