Ahead of AS Monaco’s UEFA Champions League trip to face Club Brugge on Thursday, Adi Hutter is set to rotate his side for the trip to face AJ Auxerre on Saturday. 

There are a couple of forced absences for Monaco. Lukas Hradecky injured his knee in the 3-2 win over RC Strasbourg Alsace just before the international break and is expected to be out for around two months. Philipp Kohn will deputise. 

Ansu Fati, meanwhile, is nearing a return, however, he will not be fit to face Auxerre, nor will Paul Pogba, whose return is expected after the next international break. 

Ahead of the start of their Champions League campaign, the likes of Eric Dier, Christian Mawissa, and Lamine Camara may drop to the bench.
