Set for three months out Balogun (shoulder) is expected to miss three months, according to manager Adi Hutter.

Impact Balogun's shoulder injury is as serious as originally feared, meaning he's expected to miss at least three months. Hutter was quick to add Monaco could be in the market for a new striker in the Winter window. If no new strikers comes in it would likely mean more minutes up top for Eliesse Ben Seghir or George Ilenikhena.

Won't face Toulouse Balogun (shoulder) is out for Saturday's match against Toulouse.

Impact Balogun will miss out due to his shoulder issues, with Saturday being his first absence due to the problems. This will force a change, as he did start in their last match, with George Ilenikhena taking his spot. With heavy doubt heading into Saturday's match, he is likely going to be questionable for Wednesday's UCL match against Arsenal.

Uncertain Saturday Balogun (shoulder) is a doubt for Saturday's clash with Toulouse, according to manager Adi Hutter.

Impact Balogun is a heavy doubt for Saturday's match as he struggles with a shoulder injury. The forward has been dealing with the shoulder pain for months and has been a doubt in most matches. With limited matches before the Christmas break there is some hope Balogun can make it to the break and recover.

On bench for UCL match Balogun (shoulder) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Benfica.

Impact Balogun has returned to play Wednesday, finding a spot on the bench to face Benfica. He will look to find minutes, as he has not appeared since early October due to injury. He has started in five of his eight appearances, so expect him to serve in a rotational spot now that he is fit.

On UCL team sheet Balogun (shoulder) is on the team sheet for Wednesday's UCL match against Benfica.

Impact Balogun is expected to be an option for Monaco Wednesday after missing the last month with a shoulder injury. He is set to bring depth in the attack as he is also an option to start at forward having scored three goals in eight appearances in all competitions for Monaco, starting in five of those contests.

Training, still out Balogun (shoulder) has started to train with the group again but is out for Friday's match against Brest, according to his club.

Impact Balogun is seeing huge steps in his recovery as he has returned to group training. However, he will have to wait another week for a return, as he was left off the squad list for Friday. That said, he should be nearing a return, possibly featuring against Benfica on Wednesday in UCL play.

Targeting return after break Balogun (shoulder) is set to return after the international break, according to manager Adi Hutter.

Impact Balogun was originally expected to miss two months, but he appears to be rehabbing quicker than expected. The striker could be back as soon as a Nov. 22 clash with Brest, just over a month after the shoulder injury he suffered.

NOVEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out two months Balogun (shoulder) is set to miss around two months with a dislocated shoulder, according to Greg O'Keeffe of The Athletic.

Impact Balogun will be heading to the sidelines for a solid period of time, with the forward having been handed a dislocated shoulder. This will be a brutal blow for the club as he remains out for two months, with the forward holding a rotational role and starting in five of his nine appearances this campaign. That said, George Ilenikhena is set to see an increase in time with Balogun out, while Brett Embolo will likely remain the typical starter at forward.
