Monaco predicted XI v Benfica: Lamine Camara and Caio Henrique to return | OneFootball

Lamine Camara, suspended for Friday’s victory over Stade Brestois, is expected to return to the starting line-up as AS Monaco take on Benfica in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.

In Camara’s place, it was Soungoutou Magassa who played alongside captain Denis Zakaria but the academy product will now be expected to make way. Adi Hütter has rotated his side heavily so far this season and Caio Henrique has been a victim of that. Christian Mawissa has excelled when played at left-back recently but he will be expected to make way for the Brazilian.

Despite being in a poor patch of form, Breel Embolo will still be expected to start. Folarin Balogun may make a return after recovering from a shoulder injury but he certainly won’t be fit to start this encounter. Krépin Diatta (adductors) is the only major absentee for Monaco, who are looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Champions League.

Radosalw Majecki; Caio Henrique, Thilo Kehrer, Wilfried Singo, Vanderson; Denis Zakaria, Lamine Camara; Eliesse Ben Seghir, Takumi Minamino, Maghnes Akliouche; Breel Embolo.
