AS Monaco are preparing for their upcoming fixture against Le Mans, with speculation surrounding the starting role of striker Folarin Balogun. According to predicted lineup reports, the United States international could be relegated to the bench for the match scheduled on November 8, 2026.
The prediction comes from Get French Football News, which suggests manager Adi Hütter may opt for alternative attacking options. Balogun, who joined Monaco in 2024, has featured regularly but faces competition for a starting spot.
Le Mans, currently competing in the lower divisions, will provide a test for Monaco's squad depth. The match is expected to be part of a domestic cup competition, though the exact tournament was not specified in the initial report.
