Monaco team news
Edan Diop remains unavailable for Monaco due to a leg fracture, joined in the medical room by Folarin Balogun, who suffered a shoulder dislocation in their last match, and Mohammed Salisu, following an injury during Ghana's recent game.
Vanderson and Takumi Minamino will likely be feeling the effects of extensive travel after representing South America and Asia, respectively, while young star Eliesse Ben Seghir featured in Morocco's squad for their match against the Central African Republic on Tuesday.
Skipper Denis Zakaria missed Switzerlandโs games with Serbia and Denmark last week and remains a doubt, but Thilo Kehrer is fit despite being omitted from the Germany lineup.
Manager Adi Hutter has recently reverted to a 4-2-3-1 setup. With Eliesse Ben Seghir in impressive form after netting twice for Morocco over the break, he could get the starting spot over Aleksandr Golovin.
Lille team news
Lille winger Edon Zhegrova carried his strong form into the international break, helping Kosovo beat Lithuania by netting his seventh goal in just 13 appearances for club and country this season.
The visitors will be without the services of Benjamin Andre, who is suspended following a yellow card in their match against Toulouse. Meanwhile, Hakon Arnar Haraldsson, Ismaily, and Samuel Umtiti are still recovering from injuries.
Ethan Mbappe also faces an extended period out, expected to miss two to three months after sustaining an injury against Le Havre.
October's international break came at the worst possible time for Monaco, as it stopped them in their tracks in what has been an incredible start to the season.
Despite facing a tricky trip to Rennes, Adi Hutter's men did not cower knowing that a win would have taken them top, and they got through that test, coming out 2-1 victors.
PSG's dropped points away to Nice means Monaco went into the break with a two-point lead at the top of Ligue 1, and the 19 points they have collected after seven games is their best tally at this stage since the 1960-61 season - when they ended up as French champions.
Only on three previous occasions have Monaco started a Ligue 1 season by going seven games unbeaten, with that season in 1960-61 being the first time, and they also managed the feat in 1979-80 and 2013-14, but failed to take the title in those latter two campaigns.
