Leonardo Jardim has left Stephan El Shaarawy on the substitutes' bench for Monaco's trip to Gazelec Ajaccio in Ligue 1.
New signing Fabio Coentrao is also on the bench, with Les Rouges et Bleu perhaps having one eye on the Europa League group stage, which gets underway on Thursday.
However, there is a place in the starting lineup for Chelsea loanee Mario Pasalic, while Bernardo Silva and Ivan Cavaleiro join Guido Carrillo in a three-man attack for the Monagasques.
Meanwhile, Gazelec boss Thierry Laurey has opted for three up front, with Khalid Boutaib, Gregory Pujol and Jacques Zoua leading the line for the Corsicans.
Gazelec Ajaccio: Maury, Sylla, Brechet, Mangane, Martinez, Ducourtioux, Youga, Djokovic, Boutaib, Zoua, Pujol
AS Monaco: Subasic, Carvalho, Echiejile, Raggi, Toure, Fabinho, Pasalic, Toure, Silva, Cavaleiro, Carrillo
