Ilenikhena and Ouattara start as Monaco name XI at Le Havre | OneFootball

Monaco travel to Le Havre in Ligue 1 on Saturday at 19:00, with George Ilenikhena and Kassoum Ouattara handed starts. Sébastien Pocognoli pairs Ilenikhena with Folarin Balogun at the Stade Océane.

According to Nice-Matin, Ouattara lines up at right-back, with Vanderson managed after his recent return from injury. The change allows Vanderson to be eased back.

Monaco need a win to halt a bleak run of seven defeats in their last eight league outings. They sit ninth, some way off the European places.

Up front, Pocognoli has chosen Ilenikhena ahead of Mika Biereth to join Balogun. All 10 of the Nigerian’s goals for Monaco have come off the bench.

Monaco XI: Köhn, Ouattara, Kehrer, Faes, Henrique, Zakaria (cap.), Camara, Golovin, Akliouche, Balogun, Ilenikhena.
