Ousmane Dembélé returns to the bench after a calf injury, but starts as a substitute to maintain his rhythm.

AS Monaco occupies eighth place after a draw at Champions League. The Monegasque team suffered 4-1 defeats by Rennes and Lens in the last rounds of Ligue 1, exposing weaknesses in the defense with 25 goals conceded in 13 matches.
