Monaco Football Club has been hit with another injury blow as Wilfried Sandoval, the club's star midfielder, is out for at least two months due to a knee ligament injury.

The news comes after Sandoval sustained the injury during training earlier this week and will be sidelined until late May or early June. The 28-year-old, who joined Monaco from Manchester United in January, was expected to play a key role in the team's push for the UEFA Champions League next season.

However, his absence could prove costly for the Ligue 1 champions, who currently sit third in the table and face a tough run-in against teams such as Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille.

In addition to Sandoval's injury, Monaco also suffered a further setback when defender Nicolas Nkoulou picked up an ankle injury during training on Monday. The Ivory Coast international,Campeonato Brasileiro Action who has made over 150 appearances for the club since joining in 2017, is likely to miss several weeks of action.

Despite these setbacks, Monaco manager Lucien Favre remains optimistic about the future of the club and believes that they can still compete for major honours this season. With the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Bernardo Silva and Tiemoue Bakay leading the charge, there is still plenty of talent at the club to help them overcome their injuries and continue their push for success.

Overall, it seems that Monaco will have to navigate through a difficult period without some of their key players, but with a strong squad and a determined coach, they should still be able to contend for major honours this season.
