Monaco to play friendly against Pisa | OneFootball

Monaco will play a friendly against Italian Serie B side Pisa on Saturday 3 October at 11.00 to keep non-internationals sharp during the break. According to L'Équipe, the fixture is designed to maintain match rhythm.

With the league resuming on 10 October against Toulouse, the match will be played at the La Turbie performance centre. Pisa are currently 10th in Serie B.

Young players from selected partner clubs will be invited to attend, and there will be no general public ticketing.

The game should give minutes to players aiming to regain contention in Filipe Luis's side, such as Folarin Balogun and Takumi Minamino, and possibly Ansu Fati. His official return to competitive action is planned for after the international break.

Denis Zakaria might also feature after Switzerland rested him due to adductor discomfort. The Monaco captain should be available for the visit of TFC the following weekend.
