AS Monaco faced a setback during their clash against Stade Rennais on Sunday as left-back Ismail Jakobs was forced off the field due to injury in the 68th minute of the match.The 24-year-old Senegalese international had been a key contributor for AS Monaco throughout the game, notably providing the assist for Maghnes Akliouche’s goal in the 25th minute. However, his involvement was cut short as he was forced to leave the pitch at Stade Louis II following the injury.
The concerning moment occurred during a seemingly innocuous challenge with Stade Rennais’ Désiré Doué, resulting in Jakobs sustaining an injury to his right knee.

AS Monaco will undoubtedly be monitoring Jakobs’ condition closely in the coming days as they assess the extent of his injury and the potential impact on his availability for upcoming fixtures.
With crucial matches on the horizon, including league encounters and European competitions, Jakobs’ fitness will be a priority for the club’s medical staff.
