At the press conference leading up to the Ligue 1 match against FC Metz, Adi Hütter, AS Monaco coach, faced some concerns about the availability of some players. He confirmed Denis Zakaria’s absence for a period of at least two months, an injury that represents a hard blow for the team. In addition, Christian Mawissa’s physical condition is uncertain due to an discomfort to the ischio, leaving a doubt about his participation.

However, the situation seems more encouraging for Ansu Fati. After a successful entry in the Champions League match in Belgium, the coach said he could be titularized against Metz. This potential tenure represents an important opportunity for the young player, especially given the current difficulties of the Monegasque game. Hütter clearly expressed his confidence in Fati, stressing that he “may begin”.

These developments occur in a difficult context for Monaco, which must recover from a significant defeat in the Champions League. The absence of Zakaria and the uncertainty around Mawissa add to the pressure on the team, while the possible tenure of Fati offers a welcome offensive solution to compensate for the weaknesses of the game. The match against Metz, which will take place on 21 September, is therefore of particular importance for AS Monaco.
