Despite strong links with a move to Chelsea, Lamine Camara is expected to start for AS Monaco against Olympique de Marseille on Sunday night.
The Senegal international may not be a Monaco player come Tuesday, but he is expected to start alongside Denis Zakaria. Meanwhile, another player linked with an exit, Folarin Balogun, is out. He has yet to return to fitness since his return from the FIFA World Cup. Ansu Fati is also out injured, whilst Takumi Minamino and Mohamed Salisu are building up their fitness after suffering ACL injuries last season.
Up front, Filipe Luís has a decision to make. The Brazilian may opt for the in-form Paris Brunner over Mika Biereth. Eric Dier, who had looked like one of those most likely to leave earlier in the summer, is once again expected to start in defence.

Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from Sunday night's WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky after a confrontation with Sky guard Natasha Cloud late in the third quarter.
Freedom was seated along the baseline wearing a black shirt that read "WOMAN noun. adult human female."
With 1:22 remaining in the third period, the Fever called a timeout after Cloud scored inside. Cloud shared a chest **** p with teammate Aicha Coulibaly before turning around and walking toward Freedom.

Cloud, 34, began yelling and pointing at Freedom, 34, as she approached him. Freedom stood up, extended his arms, and took a step onto the court before security personnel and several Sky players stepped between them.

Newcastle United has focused heavily on youth this summer, with five of the club's first six additions aged 20 or younger as Matthias Jaissle begins reshaping the squad he inherited from Eddie Howe.
Defense, however, remains an area requiring more than just some attention, particularly with no virtual backups at the full-back positions, Dan Burn entering his age-34 season, and Newcastle also dealing with increasing uncertainty surrounding Lewis Hall's future amid Manchester United's interest.
FussballDaten's Ekrem Konur reported on Saturday that Newcastle is among the Premier League clubs closely monitoring Werder Bremen center-back Karim Coulibaly, alongside ****** nal and Manchester United.
"Arsenal, Manchester United, and Newcastle United are closely following the player's development as they seek to rejuvenate their defenses while simultaneously improving their build-up play," Konur reported.
The 19-year-old enjoyed his breakthrough with Werder last season after joining on a free from Hamburg in July 2024, and has subsequently emerged as one of the Bundesliga's most coveted young defenders. Standing 1.91 meters tall, Coulibaly is left-footed and has impressed with his athleticism and ability in possession of the ball.

Having already seen two offers rejected for Werder Bremen's Karim Coulibaly, RC Strasbourg have now submitted a third bid for the 19-year-old, according to Bild.
The German tabloid reports that the French side are now offering €20 million upfront and that the total package could exceed €25 million with bonuses.
According to the report, this is Strasbourg's final offer for the highly-rated centre-back.
A number of clubs from England, including Newcastle United and Chelsea, have also been linked with Coulibaly, but no move has yet materialised. That could now change if Werder accept Strasbourg's offer.

The case of Mohamed Coulibaly is sending shock waves throughout the NFL, as it relates to many people in the league (including coaches, executives, and players) who actually invested with him, who supposedly did (but actually didn't), and/or who had been solicited to invest.
In a Tuesday item published by the Philadelphia Inquirer, Ximena Conde reports that Coulibaly was "desperately" seeking a $75,000 loan on the day he was found dead in a swimming pool at his home.
Per the report, Coulibaly sought money from a New York man to whom Coulibaly already owed $1 million. He promised a Lamborghini, two gold Rolexes, and a signed Lionel Messi cleat as collateral for a weeklong loan. He told the man that the extra money would make it possible to repay the original $1 million.
Later that day, a driver arrived at the man's house with two fake watches, an unauthenticated signed cleat, and an insurance card and bill of sale for the car.
The man then backed out of the loan.

There had been little news surrounding Karim Coulibaly in recent months, but with around three weeks remaining before the transfer deadline, a move for the centre-back could once again be on the cards. According to a report from DeichStube, a transfer this summer is becoming increasingly likely following Coulibaly's change of agent.
It is not out of the question that negotiations could resume soon after months of inactivity, although no concrete offer is currently on the table. While figures of up to €45 million were discussed in the spring, Werder Bremen are now reportedly hoping to receive a transfer fee of around €30 million.
According to DeichStube, Werder are primarily waiting for a potential buyer from England. The proceeds from any sale would then be quickly reinvested in further new signings.

In a recent report, journalist Fraser Fletcher claimed that Chelsea have identified Werder Bremen defender Karim Coulibaly as a target. It has been stated that the Blues are eyeing a move to land the German talent later this year.
Coulibaly played a useful role in Werder Bremen’s squad in the previous campaign when he put in a string of solid performances for them in the Bundesliga. The 19-year-old scored one goal in 27 matches for the German club last season across multiple competitions.
The talented teenager is currently one of the best young centre-backs in the Bundesliga. Therefore, Chelsea would do well to get him on board in this transfer period.
His current contract at Werder Bremen will run out in the summer of 2029, which could make it tough for the Blues to land him on a cut-price deal later this year.
