Monaco

Monaco's attack remains unsettled for Thursday's visit of Nordsjælland, with Paris Brunner and Folarin Balogun competing for a starting role up front. Balogun has trained well over the past fortnight and could use the Conference League to build up his playing time, while competition among Monaco's four forwards has sometimes left Mika Biereth out altogether.

At the back, Jordan Teze and Sadibou Sané are both in contention for a central role alongside Eric Dier, who made his first start in the last five matches against Paris FC. Mohammed Salisu is not expected to start, while Stanis Idumbo is ruled out with a groin injury.

Further forward, Denis Zakaria and Edan Diop are competing for a central midfield place, while Takumi Minamino and Mamadou Coulibaly are alternatives for another role.

Nordsjælland

Nordsjælland will be without Justin Janssen for the trip to Monaco. He was sent off against CSKA Sofia on 22 October and serves the resulting suspension here, having scored twice in three starts over his last five appearances for the club.

Three places across the back are unsettled: Tobias Salquist and Noah Markmann are options at centre-back, as are Victor Nelsson and Stephen Acquah, while Hjalte Boe Rasmussen and Villum Berthelsen compete for the third spot. In midfield, Mark Brink is expected to return after coming off the bench against Midtjylland, having been substituted in each of his previous three starts.

Ibrahim Adel, who has scored three goals in his last five appearances, is expected to start alongside Alexander Lind and Runar Norheim.
