AS Monaco is experiencing a challenging start to the season with a significantly reduced roster. Several key players are sidelined due to injuries, including Nikola Mirotic (calf), Daniel Theis (finger), and Alpha Diallo (groin). Compounding these issues, two players, Mike James and Juhann Begarin, are serving suspensions, with James out for 3 games and Begarin for another 4.
The only positive news on the injury front is that Matthew Strazel, who sustained a rib injury against Olympiakos, has recovered and is available.
However, financial concerns continue to loom over the club. According to L’Equipe, Elie Okobo is reportedly considering boycotting the upcoming game against Paris. This threat stems from reports that players have yet to receive their April salaries, and the club owes significant arrears spanning several months.
In a worst-case scenario, AS Monaco might only have Matthew Strazel, Jaron Blossomgame, Nemanja Nedovic, Kevarrius Hayes, and Terry Tarpey available for the match. This situation casts a peculiar light on AS Monaco’s current position as league leaders.
