AS Monaco
Adi Hutter does not have any new injury concerns hampering his preparations ahead of his side’s latest fixture. The AS Monaco manager might 0be bereft of the services of five first-team players vs Aston Villa on Tuesday.
Folarin Balogun is the most notable absentee, with the former Arsenal striker recovering from a should injury. The 23-year-old accompanies George Ilenikhena (groin) and Krepin Diatta (muscle) on the sidelines. Meanwhile, Wilfried Singo (back) and Denis Zakaria (illness) face late fitness tests to determine their availability.
Radoslaw Majecki will take his spot between the sticks, with AS Monaco lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him vs Aston Villa on Tuesday. The backline should feature Vanderson, Thilo Kehrer, Mohammed Salisu, and Caio Henrique.
As for the midfield unit, Soungoutou Magassa will pair up with Lamine Camara in the double pivot. Aleksandr Golovin will reprise the no. 10 role, with Maghnes Akliouche and Eliesse Ben Seghir being the two wide attackers. Finally, Breel Embolo should lead the line for AS Monaco against Aston Villa.
Aston Villa
Unlike his counterpart in the AS Monaco dugout, Unai Emery has greeted a mixed bag of updates on the team news front ahead of the trip to Stade Louis II. The Aston Villa manager will be without five first-team players on Tuesday.
John McGinn has resumed training after recovering from a hamstring injury. However, Tuesday’s game might have come too soon for the Aston Villa captain, who will miss out against AS Monaco. Amadou Onana picked up a knock this past weekend against Arsenal and accompanies Pau Torres (ankle) and Ross Barkley (calf) on the sidelines. Meanwhile, Diego Carlos is closing in on joining Fenerbahce and will not feature on Tuesday.
Emiliano Martinez is an automatic pick between the sticks, with Aston Villa lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him vs AS Monaco on Tuesday. The backline should feature Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings, and Lucas Digne.
As for the midfield unit, Boubacar Kamara and Youri Tielemans should pair up in the double pivot, with Morgan Rogers reprising the no. 10 role. Finally, Ollie Watkins will spearhead the Aston Villa attack against AS Monaco on Tuesday, with Leon Bailey and Jacob Ramsey being the two wide attackers. So, Jhon Duran will be a backup option on the bench for the away side.
Monaco possible starting lineup:
Majecki; Henrique, Salisu, Kehrer, Vanderson; Camara, Magassa, Akliouche, Golovin, Ben Seghir; Embolo
Aston Villa possible starting lineup:
Martinez; Digne, Mings, Konsa, Cash; Kamara, Ramsey, Rogers, Tielemans, Bailey; Watkins
