Kassoum Ouattara

Ouattara delivered an assist, had two off-target shots, created four chances and sent in five crosses (three accurate) during Saturday's 1-0 win over Toulouse.

Ouattara generated three shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Nice.

Ouattara (calf) is fully fit and available but has not been included in recent squad lists due to competition. He will now be available to play for the Elite Group, the youth team of Monaco, coach Adi Hutter said in the press conference. "For Kassoum, it's a good opportunity to gain playing time with the Elite Group. He's young, and it's necessary for him. I'm currently facing a rich problem of being able to only put 20 players on the match sheet. It's obviously a disappointment for them, but they remain professional. I sometimes have to make difficult choices by not calling up a player who does a good job during the week."

Ouattara (calf) was back in team training Thursday, according to Christopher Roux of Nice Matin.

Ouattara (calf) remains out for Saturday's clash with Nice, coach Adi Hutter said in the press conference, per Luke Entwistle.
