Monaco Suffer Triple Injury Blow for Toulouse Clash Ahead of CSKA Trip

Ligue 1 leaders Monaco will be without three key players for tonight's home clash against Toulouse, just days before traveling to face CSKA at the Vasil Levski National Stadium in their Europa Conference League opener on October 15. The news was confirmed by manager Filipe Luís, with Takumi Minamino, Mika Biereth, and Mamadou Coulibaly all ruled out. Japan international Minamino featured in last Saturday's 2-0 friendly win over Pisa, but is still working his way back to full fitness following a serious injury.

Danish international Mika Biereth also found the net against Pisa, but remains short of match sharpness, while Coulibaly is sidelined with an adductor issue. Monaco will also be without German youth international Paris Brunner against Toulouse due to suspension. It remains uncertain whether the injured trio will recover in time to make the squad for the trip to face CSKA in midweek.
