Monaco predicted XI v Benfica: Lamine Camara and Mika Biereth to start

Lamine Camara missed the defeat against Paris Saint-Germain due to a minor knee injury on Friday, however, he is set to return as AS Monaco prepare to face Benfica in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. 

Back in the squad, he is expected also to return to the line-up and feature alongside Denis Zakaria in midfield. Folarin Balogun, Jordan Teze, and Wilfried Singo all remain out. The latter is nearing a return and may be fit to play a role in the return leg in Lisbon next week. 

Mika Biereth, now eligible to play, may partner Breel Embolo up front with Monaco expected to continue playing in a 4-4-2. Caio Henrique, somewhat out of favour, is likely to play at left-back with Christian Mawissa out with a suspension. 

Monaco likely line-up v Benfica

Radoslaw Majecki; Caio Henrique, Mohamed Salisu, Thilo Kehrer; Vanderson; Aleksandr Golovin, Lamine Camara, Denis Zakaria, Maghnes Akliouche; Breel Embolo, Mika Biereth.
