AS Monaco host Getafe at Louis-II in final pre-season friendly
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
AS Monaco face Spanish side Getafe at Stade Louis-II on Thursday evening, with a Conference League play-off tie looming on 20 August.
Stade Louis-II hosts AS Monaco's last pre-season friendly this Thursday, with kick-off set for 20:00, as Adi Hütter's squad make their final preparations before competitive football resumes. The match against La Liga's Getafe gives the coaching staff one last opportunity to sharpen the squad ahead of what promises to be a demanding August.
All eyes will be on Maghnes Abline, who is in contention for his first appearance in red and white after joining the club this summer. With the Conference League play-off first leg pencilled in for 20 August, Thursday's game carries real weight as a fitness and tactical run-out rather than a routine warm-up fixture.
For supporters and residents heading to Fontvieille, the ground will be open for a home fixture for the first time since the spring. It is the last chance to see the squad in action before competitive stakes arrive.
