AJ Auxerre prepares to face AS Monaco on the fourth day of Ligue 1, a game that promises a surprise for the reals. Coach Christophe Pélissier selected a group of 23 players for this match, including names such as Négrel, Mezerette and De Percin, as well as players such as Siwe, Mensah and Diomandé. The Auxerroise team aims to create the upset against a Monegasque team that, despite a relatively calm mercato, managed to retain key players such as Akliouche and Zakaria, while strengthening its team with a goaltender in particular.

At the same time, AS Monaco welcomed Anthony Martial, the French international, to its team. After being considered undesirable at AEK Athens, Martial signed a contract with the CF Monterrey until 2027, becoming the first French player in the history of the Mexican club. There is a great deal of interest in this arrival, especially because of the club’s reputation and the presence of players like Sergio Ramos. The Monegasque management, at a press conference, stressed the satisfaction of having strengthened the guard sector and retained important elements, while mentioning the case of Axel Disasi.

For tonight’s match in Auxerre, the two media, L’Equipe and Monaco-Matin, are planning a rotation of the Monegasque squad after the international truce and the move to the Champions League. Köhn’s return to goal is expected, as is the tenure of Salisu and Kehrer in defence. Bamba and Ouattara should also have their chance in the game. Auxerre will have to dispense with his guardian, Donovan Léon, suspended for this meeting. The likely compositions, according to both sources, are slightly different, but emphasize the importance of players like Owusu (cap.) and Sinayoko in the Auxerroise team.
