On the eve of the Monaco reception, Friday (9 p.m.), three ASSE players tested positive for Covid-19. As revealed by Sainté Inside, they are Jessy Moulin, Arnaud Nordin and Adil Aouchiche.
The three players are however in the group of 24 players unveiled by the club this Thursday evening, perhaps awaiting further tests on Friday morning. A new problem for Claude Puel, especially as Stéfan Bajic, replacing Jessy Moulin, was injured. Etienne Green (20 years old, 0 match in Ligue 1) would then be aligned in the cage against the Monegasques.
With the return of Mathieu Debuchy, suspended in Angers, the Greens should evolve with a four-way defense.
Harold Moukoudi and Lucas Gourna, ill last weekend, and Yvan Neyou, recovered from his thigh injury, should also start. In front, Wahbi Khazri, Charles Abi and Denis Bouanga hold the rope.
As for AS Monaco, Niko Kovač should do in the classic (3-2-4-1), and could prefer young Sofiane Diop to Aleksandr Golovin to accompany Kevin Volland in support of Wissam Ben Yedder.
