Folarin Balogun, Mika Biereth, Ansu Fati and Monaco’s crowded attack after Paris Brunner ban | OneFootball

Paris Brunner will miss Monaco’s next two Ligue 1 matches in October through suspension, but the post-international break period will give Filipe Luis three additional attacking options to balance.

According to L'Équipe, the 20-year-old German has been the hit of the summer across Monaco, Paris and Strasbourg, his growing impact driving up interest around him.

Nicknamed Bébé Brunner, his performances have already unsettled the pecking order up front, underlined by a brace for the Under-21s in Saturday’s 4-0 win over Latvia.

Last season, Folarin Balogun and Mika Biereth were both denied by Strasbourg goalkeeper Mike Penders during Monaco-Strasbourg, a match that finished 3-2.

With competition sharpening and options plentiful, the immediate test for Filipe Luis after the break will be how he sets his forward line.
