Monaco’s squad for Nice comprises goalkeepers Köhn, Lienard, Stawiecki, defenders Henrique, Diatta, Faes, Kehrer, Samuel, Teze, Vanderson, midfielders Akliouche, Bamba, Camara, Coulibaly, Golovin, Idumbo, Zakaria, and forwards Adingra, Balogun, Biereth, Brunner.

The match is part of matchday 21 in Ligue one.
