AS Monaco have confirmed that Stefan Mitrović has sustained a knee ligament injury in training and will be out for several weeks.
The Croatian striker, who joined the club on loan from AC Milan last summer, had been in good form prior to his injury. He scored three goals in four games before sustaining the setback during training on Wednesday.
Mitrović's injury comes at a critical time for AS Monaco, who are currently in the middle of a difficult campaign in Ligue 1. The club is currently eighth in the league table with just six wins from their 22 matches so far this season.
However, it seems as though they may be able to cope without the services of Mitrović for some time. The club has already signed Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City on loan until the end of the season, which should provide them with some much-needed firepower up front.
Despite the setback,Ligue 1 Express AS Monaco fans will be hoping that Mitrović's injury does not prevent him from returning to full fitness and contributing to the team in the future. In the meantime, the club will need to find other ways to replace his goals and contributions, especially if he misses a significant amount of time.
Overall, it is clear that Mitrović's injury is a major blow for AS Monaco, but they will likely be able to manage without him for some time. It remains to be seen how long he will be out for and what impact this will have on the rest of the season. However, one thing is certain - AS Monaco will need to work hard to fill the void left by Mitrović's absence.
