Monaco head to Poland this evening for their UEFA Europa Conference League qualifier at Górnik Zabrze with a makeshift forward line.

Folarin Balogun is not yet fully fit following the FIFA World Cup, and Filipe Luís has said he played through a minor niggle during the tournament.

Matthis Abline is sidelined after a minor foot injury in the pre-season defeat to Coventry City. Ansu Fati has not recovered, will miss this tie and the start of the Ligue 1 season.

Aleksandr Golovin is also injured, while Takumi Minamino is nearing a return from the ACL injury he suffered in December but is not yet ready. That could open the door for Safouane Benzahra to feature, either from the start or off the bench, as he awaits his professional debut for his formative club.

Monaco likely line-up v Górnik Zabrze: Lukas Hradecky in goal, a back four of Nazinho, Christian Mawissa, Eric Dier and Vanderson, a midfield of Stanis Idumbo, Lamine Camara, Denis Zakaria and Mathys Detourbet, with Paris Brunner and Mika Biereth up front.
