LOSC prepares to face AS Monaco on the second day of Ligue 1, a match that will take place on Sunday 24 August 2025 at 8:45 pm at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. Bruno Genesio, the LOSC coach, selected a group of twenty-one players for this match. The team includes Edon Zhegrova’s return, but several players like Marc-Aurèle Cailillard, Tiago Santos, Ousmané Touré, Ethan Mbappé, André Gomes and Osame Sahraoui are unavailable due to injuries. Rafael Fernandes and Mohamed Bayo are also not included in the list of summonses. The complete group is: Özer, Bodart, Sajous - Alexsandro, Ngoy, Perraud, Goffi, Burlet, Mandi, Meunier - Mukau, Bouaddi, Haraldsson, André, Raghuber, Bentaleb - Giroud, Broholm, Correia, Fernaendez-Pardo, Zhegrova.

For its part, AS Monaco, after a first victory against Le Havre, continues to work on its staff. The club hesitates to sell its young attacker Lucas Michal, despite the interest of several French clubs. Initially willing to let him go in case of a definitive transfer, Monaco has changed its mind and now wishes to keep it in order to meet the requirements of the quota of locally trained players for the Champions League. Lucas Michal, under contract until 2029, seems determined to leave the club and refused to take part in a rally with the Espoirs team to avoid an injury that could compromise a possible transfer. His situation could change in the last few hours of the mercato.

Adolf Hütter, the AS Monaco coach, also selected a group of twenty-one players for the game against the LOSC. Ansu Fati and Paul Pogba are not available due to their gradual recovery. Mohamed Salisu, Soungoutou Magassa, Krépin Diatta and Breel Embolo are also not included in the group. The group includes players such as Hradecky, Köhn, Lienard - C. Henrique, Dier, Kehrer, Mawissa, Ouattara, Singo, Teze, Vanderson - Akliouche, Bamba, Ben Seghiir, Camara, Golovin, Minamino, Zakaria - Balogun, Biereth, Ilenikhena.
