Monaco name stable squad for Conference League clash with Fribourg
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
Three players remain sidelined but no new injuries have hit AS Monaco ahead of Thursday's Europa Conference League tie against Fribourg.
Filipe Luís faced the press at the Stade Louis II training ground on Wednesday afternoon, previewing Thursday's 9pm kick-off against SC Fribourg in the Europa Conference League. The Monaco coach confirmed that his squad remains largely unchanged from recent weeks, with three players still out through injury but no fresh setbacks to report before the visit of the German side.
For supporters who have watched the squad stretched thin across multiple competitions this season, the news will come as a relief. Luís used the session to outline what he expects from his available players against Fribourg, stressing consistency and discipline rather than wholesale changes to his approach.
The match at the Stade Louis II carries weight for Monaco's European campaign, with points needed to strengthen their position in the competition's league phase. Kick-off is set for 9pm on Thursday, with the squad named shortly before the match following Wednesday's press duties.
