AS Monaco have not suffered any fresh injury blows this week, however, they remain without several key players as they prepare to host Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Champions League.

Eric Dier, who suffered a muscular injury last week, is the latest to have succumbed to an injury. The Englishman missed the weekend draw to SCO Angers and despite doing an individual training session on Tuesday, he won’t play against his former club either.

In midfield, Monaco remain without Denis Zakaria and Lamine Camara, whilst Paul Pogba is also not yet fit. Jordan Teze will deputise again, whilst Mamadou Coulibaly is also likely to start, although Aladji Bamba is also in contention. Up front, Folarin Balogun may get the nod ahead of Mika Biereth.

Monaco likely line-up v Tottenham Hotspur

Philipp Kohn; Caio Henrique, Mohammed Salisu, Thilo Kehrer; Kassoum Ouattara, Mamadou Coulibaly, Jordan Teze, Krépin Diatta; Maghnes Akliouche; Ansu Fati, Folarin Balogun.
