Monaco without Matthis Abline, Folarin Balogun and Ansu Fati for Gornik Zabrze Conference League second leg | OneFootball

Monaco will again be without three forwards for Thursday’s Conference League play-off second leg against Gornik Zabrze, kick-off 18:45. According to L'Équipe, Filipe Luis’s squad is largely unchanged from the weekend. Monaco won the first leg 3-2 in Poland.

Folarin Balogun was not with his team-mates on Wednesday morning, Ansu Fati remains injured, and Matthis Abline is still recovering from a heavy knock at Coventry that required stitches in his right foot.

Filipe Luis said Abline is still struggling to put his boots on and can only train individually. He added they hope he can be back next week.

That timeline means Abline will also miss the visit of Marseille on Sunday at 20:45.

The coach kept discussion centred on Gornik Zabrze for now. He took encouragement from Sunday’s 1-0 win at Le Havre, saying the team’s display reassured him and that he felt better represented.
