Monaco Faces Fitness Tests Before PSG Champions League Clash

Ahead of the UEFA Champions League knockout playoff first leg against holders Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco's coach Sebastien Pocognoli is facing uncertainty regarding the fitness of three players: French international Maghn Akliouch, Senegalese midfielder Lamin Camara, and Ansu Fati, who has sustained a quadricep injury. These players will undergo fitness tests later on Monday, just before the match scheduled for Tuesday.

Pocognoli expressed confidence in his team's eagerness to perform well, emphasizing the importance of the match as they aim to secure a favorable outcome before the return leg next week. Monaco enters this match following a 3-1 home victory against Nantes in Ligue 1.

Captain Deni Zakaria acknowledged the challenge posed by PSG, stating that while they are not at 100%, they will strive to deliver their best performance.
