Monaco predicted XI v Marseille: Folarin Balogun to return | OneFootball

Having come off the bench against Benfica in mid-week, Folarin Balogun could make his first start for AS Monaco since suffering a dislocated shoulder against Stade Rennais at the start of October.

The USMNT forward has been ahead of schedule in his recovery from that injury and he could be fit enough to replace Breel Embolo in the starting XI against Olympique de Marseille on Sunday night. Monaco did suffer a blow in recent days, however, as Lamine Camara has withdrawn from the club with illness. That will mean Soungoutou Magassa continuing alongside Denis Zakaria.

Elsewhere, Christian Mawissa may come in for Caio Henrique, whilst Takumi Minamino may also come into the starting line-up. Krépin Diatta, Edan Diop, and Mamadou Coulibaly are all also out for Les Monégasques.

Radoslaw Majecki; Christian Mawissa, Mohammed Salisu, Wilfried Singo, Vanderson; Soungoutou Magassa, Denis Zakaria; Takumi Minamino, Aleksandr Golovin, Maghnes Akliouche; Folarin Balogun.
