Monaco Defenders Hit By Injury Crisis
18 Nov
Summary
- Eric Dier sustained another muscular injury after a previous hamstring issue.
- Mohammed Salisu suffered a knee ligament sprain while on international duty.
- Christian Mawissa also remains unavailable, limiting defensive options.

AS Monaco's defensive ranks are severely depleted due to a spate of injuries. Eric Dier, who had recently recovered from a hamstring issue, has now encountered another muscular problem, with his return timeline uncertain. This latest setback compounds the club's defensive challenges.
Adding to the concern, Mohammed Salisu has been sidelined with a bilateral medial collateral ligament sprain in his knee. The injury occurred while he was representing Ghana internationally and has been evaluated by both national and club medical staff. He has since rejoined Monaco.
The situation is further strained by the continued absence of Christian Mawissa. Manager Sébastien Pocognoli faces a critical shortage of defensive players ahead of the upcoming fixture against Stade Rennais, highlighting the team's current injury crisis.
