Monaco predicted XI v Marseille: Paul Pogba out, Folarin Balogun leads the line | OneFootball

AS Monaco will be without Paul Pogba and Ansu Fati for the trip to face Olympique de Marseille on Sunday night. 

Pogba sustained a minor calf injury during the final training session ahead of the match against OM. Fati has yet to recover from a hamstring injury. However, there are returnees for Sébastien Pocognoli. Christian Mawissa and Eric Dier have both missed several weeks of action; the latter has yet to even play since the arrival of Pocognoli in October. But both are now available again for the Principality club, even if neither is expected to start. It means that Monaco will not switch to a back three, Pocognoli’s preferred system.

Folarin Balogun, scorer of the only goal against Galatasaray in midweek, will once again lead the line for Les Monégasques. 

Monaco likely line-up v Marseille

Lukas Hradecky; Caio Henrique, Mohammed Salisu, Thilo Kehrer; Vanderson; Lamine Camara, Denis Zakaria; Aleksandr Golovin, Takumi Minamino, Maghnes Akliouche; Folarin Balogun.
