Salisu back as Monaco travel to Strasbourg with selection headaches | OneFootball

Monaco travel to Strasbourg on Saturday at 17:15, live on Ligue 1+, with a near full squad, fresh competition up front and the chance to make it six wins from six this season.

According to L'Équipe, Lamine Camara, Folarin Balogun, Pape Cabral and Alexandre Golovine did not secure moves away, leaving coach Luis Filipe with abundant options and lively training sessions.

The Brazilian has framed it as a pleasant puzzle, satisfied with the group and glad Golovine stayed, while acknowledging that the volume of attacking players can complicate sessions and leave some on the sidelines. He maintains that competition remains open.

There is also a timely boost with Mohammed Salisu back in the squad after rupturing his cruciate ligament in early January.

Not everything is rosy, as Jordan Teze and Mamadou Coulibaly have quadriceps issues on return from Paris, while Balogun and Ansu Fati are still not ready.

The main uncertainty for Strasbourg concerns the right flank, with Filipe Luis choosing between Matthis Abline, Mathys Detourbet and Anis Soubeir.
