Monaco awaits Galatasaray in the sixth day of the Champions League. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the Stade Louis II. The Monegasques need to bounce back after a disappointing 2-2 draw with Pafos, the third draw of their European campaign, which dropped them to six points, just outside the play-off zone. Also seeking redemption are the Turks, who stumbled in a home defeat against Union Saint-Gilloise in the’last round and remained stuck on nine points, the same as Newcastle, Atlético Madrid and Liverpool.

On the bench at Juventus is Luciano Spalletti, champion of Italy with Napoli and with Osimhen.

Kovac has to deal with some heavy absences: out are both Dier and Fati, both in the box due to injury. Balogun could recover, but the attack should still rest on Biereth, with Akliouche, Minamino and Golovin in support in the three-quarter.

In Galatasaray, on the other hand, we are moving toward the return of Osimhen from the first minute. Behind him will be Sané, Sara and Yilmaz, while Gundogan will partner Torreira in midfield. Defense headed by the Sanchez-Bardakci pair.

Probable lineups

Monaco (3-4-2-1): Hradecky; Vanderson, Kehrer, Salisu, Caio Henrique; Ouattara, Camara, Zakaria; Akliouche, Minamino, Golovin; Biereth. Coach: Pocognoli.

Galatasaray (4-3-3): Cakir; Sallai, Sanchez, Bardakci, Jakobs; Torreira, Gundogan; Sané, Sara, Yilmaz, Osimhen. Coach: Buruk.
