AS Monaco is preparing for its fourth pre-season match against the Armina Bielefeld this Saturday at 3 p.m. The team, which has remained undefeated since the beginning of its summer preparation, unveiled a group of 25 players for this trip to Germany. This selection, which was smaller than in England, was marked by the absence of two major recruits: Paul Pogba and Ansu Fati. Pogba is still in the re-athletization phase, while Fati only resumed collective training this week. However, the team will be able to count on the return of two young international French Espoirs, Christian Mawissa and Soungoutou Magassa, as well as on the return to full possession of his abilities of Folarin Balogun, who had injured himself during the first friendly.

In parallel with these preparations, information has surfaced about the future of Krépin Diatta. According to Monaco-Matin, the Senegalese winger might be tempted to leave the club this summer, frustrated by his lack of playing time. His contract expired in 2026, he would be open to a new experience if an interesting offer were presented. Despite his experience and his 48 selections with Senegal, the player would not take this decision lightly and wait for a value proposition. This raises questions about the future composition of the Monegasque workforce.

The group of 25 players includes notable absents such as Georges Ileikhena, Elie Seghir, Jules Stawiecki, Bradel Kiwa, Pope Cabral, and internationals Aladji Bamba and Saimon Bouabré. Paul Pogba and Ansu Fati continue their preparations at the Turbie Performance Centre, while the game against the Armina Bielefeld will be broadcast on the ASM YouTube channel. The full list of selected players includes names such as Philipp Köhn, Yann Lienard, Radostlaw Majewski, and many others, illustrating the diversity and depth of the current Monegasque workforce.
