AS Monaco’s Predicted Lineup Against FC Nantes: Young Talent to Step Up Amid Injuries

AS Monaco is set to face FC Nantes on Saturday, looking to rebound from their midweek loss to Benfica. However, the team will have to overcome the absence of several key players.

In addition to long-term absentees Jordan Teze and Folarin Balogun, manager Adi Hütter confirmed that Aleksandr Golovin (adductor injury) and Soungoutou Magass (facial fracture) will be sidelined for several weeks. To compensate, young talent Eliesse Ben Seghir is expected to fill Golovin’s role in the starting lineup.

The midfield could see Moatasem Al-Musrati partnering with captain Denis Zakaria, as both players are suspended for the upcoming Benfica match. Wilfried Singo has returned to the squad but is unlikely to start against Nantes.

Projected AS Monaco Starting XI:

Goalkeeper: Radoslaw Majecki
Defense: Caio Henrique, Christian Mawissa, Thilo Kehrer, Vanderson
Midfield: Moatasem Al-Musrati, Denis Zakaria
Attack: Eliesse Ben Seghir, Takumi Minamino, Maghnes Akliouche, Mika Biereth

This lineup reflects Monaco’s need to adapt to their current personnel challenges while maintaining their competitive edge against FC Nantes.
