Stanis Idumbo
ASM
Back in team training
Idumbo (groin) was spotted back in team training in recent days, the club posted.
Analysis: Idumbo had been ruled out for around three weeks with a psoas injury, an absence that interrupted a strong start in which he had established himself as a regular starter on the left wing and scored once in four appearances. His return to team training puts him on track to be available again for Saturday's clash against Toulouse, with Mathys Detourbet and Ansu Fati having been the options to see increased opportunities on the left if he had to miss more time.
Out around three weeks
Idumbo (psoas) has been ruled out of Friday's clash against Lens and is expected to remain sidelined for around three weeks, according to La Diagonale.
Analysis: Idumbo has been diagnosed with a psoas injury after establishing himself as a regular starter on the left wing during the opening weeks of the season. The expected three-week absence should keep him sidelined until after the October international break, interrupting a start to the campaign that has seen him score once in four appearances. Mathys Detourbet could see increased opportunities on the left during his absence.
Doubtful with psoas discomfort
Idumbo is a doubt for Friday's clash against Lens due to psoas pain suffered after a stretch of consecutive matches, according to L'Equipe.
Analysis: Idumbo has established himself as an undisputed starter on the left wing for Monaco, scoring one goal in four appearances so far this season. If he is forced to miss time, Mathys Detourbet will likely start in his spot, with the club also monitoring potential returns for Ansu Fati and Folarin Balogun ahead of the match.
Scores winner against PSG
Idumbo scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 2-1 win against Paris Saint-Germain.
Analysis: Idumbo scored the winner in the 72nd minute after beating Marquinhos before finishing past Matvey Safonov. He has now started three consecutive Ligue 1 matches while attempting at least two shots in each, showing a growing role in Monaco's attack. His two tackles won and four clearances also showed his ability to contribute without the ball, giving him value at both ends of the pitch.
Four shots in win
Idumbo generated four shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 win versus Marseille.
Analysis: Idumbo was Monaco's most active wide player in Sunday's 2-0 derby win, registering four shots including one on target and delivering one accurate cross as the Congolese teenager consistently threatened Marseille's back line before being replaced in the 85th minute. He won zero of his five duels but his direct running and willingness to take on opponents created the space that allowed Aleksandr Golovin and Paris Brunner to operate with greater freedom through the middle. Idumbo has now featured in both of Monaco's Ligue 1 fixtures and his energy and directness from the left flank are a consistent source of danger in new coach Filipe Luis' system.
Sees minutes in preseason
Idumbo (shoulder) took part in Saturday's offseason clash against Sporting CP.
Analysis: Idumbo has been sidelined from official action since February, as he was a regularly unused substitute before suffering the injury, which required surgery and left him out over the last few months. He'll continue to look for chances to regain confidence during preseason work, and he could eventually become a viable left-wing asset for a team that previously used Ansu Fati and Aleksandr Golovin in attacking midfield roles.
Set for shoulder surgery
Idumbo (shoulder) will undergo surgery and is ruled out for the remainder of the season, according to coach Sebastien Pocognoli.
Analysis: Idumbo had managed just 22 minutes of action in 2026 before the injury struck, making the season-ending news a limited but still unfortunate blow for Monaco. The midfielder contributed one goal and one assist across 164 Ligue 1 minutes this campaign, appearing eight times off the bench, and will now focus entirely on his recovery from surgery ahead of the 2026/27 season.
