Ansu Fati Returns, Set to Start Against Real Madrid
20 Jan
Summary
- Ansu Fati is expected to start for AS Monaco against Real Madrid.
- Monaco faces significant absences, including Pogba and Minamino.
- Wout Faes is ineligible, with Thilo Kehrer likely to replace him.

AS Monaco is poised to feature Ansu Fati in their starting lineup for tonight's UEFA Champions League clash against Real Madrid. Fati, who recently marked his return from injury with a goal as a substitute, is expected to feature prominently.
The Spaniard's inclusion is likely to shift Monaco to a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Folarin Balogun leading the forward line. This adjustment comes as manager Sébastien Pocognoli contends with a lengthy list of unavailable players.
Notable absentees include Paul Pogba, Christian Mawissa, Mohammed Salisu, Lukas Hradecky, Takumi Minamino, Lamine Camara, Krépin Diatta, and Wout Faes. Faes is ineligible for UCL play, while Camara and Diatta are still at the Africa Cup of Nations. Thilo Kehrer is expected to step in for Faes, having missed the weekend's game due to suspension.
