Senegalese midfielder Lamine Camara is back in contention for AS Monaco ahead of their crucial Champions League playoff first-leg clash against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night at the Stade Louis-II.
Earlier this week, Monaco coach Sébastien Pocognoli had cast doubt over Camara’s availability during a press conference on Monday, following the Senegalese international’s ankle injury sustained on 13 February in Monaco’s Ligue 1 home fixture against FC Nantes. Camara had to leave the pitch prematurely, raising questions about whether he would be fit to face the reigning French champions.
Despite the initial uncertainty, Camara has been included in the matchday squad, signaling a potential return to action for the pivotal midfielder. While it remains unclear if Pocognoli will start him or introduce him from the bench, his presence in the squad is a positive development for Monaco, who will be seeking creativity, energy, and stability in the midfield against a formidable PSG side.
The midfielder’s inclusion comes as a relief to fans and teammates alike, who have been monitoring his recovery closely since the ankle knock. Monaco will need every available resource as they aim to make a strong statement in the opening leg of the Champions League play-offs, and Camara’s potential participation could provide a crucial boost to the team’s chances.
