Third-placed AS Monaco must do without striker Radamel Falcao as they take on AC Ajaccio in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
A thigh injury keeps the Colombian international out of the game, with midfielder Anthony Martial being recalled by manager Claudio Ranieri.
Junior Tallo starts in attack for struggling Ajaccio who have no fresh injury problems, with Guillermo Ochoa continuing in goal for the visitors.
The team from the principality know a fourth straight win would help close the gap on league leaders Paris Saint-Germain at the top of Ligue 1, while their Corsican opponents start the game in the relegation places, six points from safety.
AS Monaco: Subasic; Kurzawa, Carvalho, Abidal, Raggi; Moutinho, Rodruigez, Obaddi, Martial, Toulalan; Riviere
AC Ajaccio: Ochoa; Perezo, Tonucci, Bonnart, Hengbart; Andre, Pierazzi, Mostefa, Cavalli, Lasne; Tallo
