Monaco predicted XI vs Metz: Folarin Balogun to start from the bench | OneFootball

Monaco will hoping to extend their winning run in Ligue 1 to three matches and to return to the top of the table when they face newly-promoted Metz on Sunday afternoon.

L’Équipe reports that Adi Hütter is set to rotate in attack with Folarin Balogun set to be the casualty and drop to the bench with former Liverpool attacker Takumi Minamino returning to the fore. This is despite the US international being on the scoresheet for Les Monégasques against Reims before the international break.

Soungoutou Magassa and Denis Zakaria will both miss out due to suspension. This will see Christian Matsima return to the left side of a defensive three with Mohamed Camara taking the place of the suspended Swiss international in a midfield pairing alongside Youssouf Fofana.

Krepin Diatta and Ismail Jakobs will keep their places on the flanks with Brazilian wing-backs Caio Henrique and Vanderson both missing due to injury. Ben Yedder and Alexsandr Golovin should keep their places in attack.

Monaco likely XI vs Metz:

Philipp Köhn – Wilfried Singo, Guillermo Maripán, Christian Matsima – Krepin Diatta, Mohamed Camara, Youssouf Fofana, Ismal Jakobs – Alexsandr Golovin, Wissam Ben Yedder, Takumi Minamino
