Monaco predicted XI v Lille: Paul Pogba to drop back to bench? | OneFootball

Last weekend, in a slender 2-1 win over FC Metz, Paul Pogba made his first start in three years. As AS Monaco prepare to face Lille OSC at the Stade Louis II on Sunday night, the former Manchester United and Juventus midfielder is expected to drop back to the bench. Aladji Bamba may take his place.

There are no fresh injury concerns for Sébastien Pocognoli to contend with, although Caio Henrique has suffered a setback in his return from a muscular injury. While he awaits the results of tests on the setback, he is out of this game. The defence-minded Christian Mawissa may start in his position.

The likes of Kassoum Ouattara, Vanderson, Stanis Idumbo, Mohammed Salisu, and Takumi Minamino, all remain sidelined for the Principality club.
