Monaco

Monaco have Paris Brunner available again after suspension for Sunday's visit of Lille, with the forward expected to start after scoring three goals across his last three starts. Eric Dier remains doubtful with a muscle injury after missing the match against Freiburg.

In central defence, Mohammed Salisu is expected alongside Sadibou Sané, having sat out the Freiburg game after starting twice in the previous four matches. Flávio Nazinho should return at left-back after appearing as a late substitute in that match, while Takumi Minamino is preferred to Ansu Fati on the right of the attack.

Lille

Ayase Ueda and Tiago Santos remain doubts for Sunday's trip to Monaco because of foot and knee problems respectively. Osame Sahraoui is unavailable after failing to return to training and is not yet ready to rejoin the squad.

In goal, the choice remains between Berke Özer and Orlando Gill, while Alexsandro and Tanguy Nianzou are the alternatives at centre-back. Nabil Bentaleb and Ngal'ayel Mukau are also competing for the same midfield place alongside Benjamin André.

Calvin Verdonk and Soriba Diaoune, who both made their first starts of the sequence against Galatasaray, are expected to drop out of the side. Romain Perraud is in line to return at left-back after missing that game.
