Eric Dier
ASM
Trains fully in return
Dier trained in full during the first week of preseason and has cleared his ankle issue from the end of last season, the club posted.
Analysis: Dier's clean bill of health is a positive sign after an ankle knock limited him to just 15 minutes of action following his return from injury late last season. He finished his first campaign at Monaco with two goals, nine tackles, 13 interceptions and 43 clearances across 12 appearances in all competitions, and a fully healthy start to preseason gives him a chance to build a bigger role in the squad heading into the 2026/27 season under new coach Filipe Luis.
Dealing with ankle knock
Dier is ruled out of Sunday's season finale against Strasbourg due to a left ankle knock, according to the club.
Analysis: Dier's absence has a limited impact on Monaco's starting lineup given that he has managed just 15 minutes of competitive action since returning from injury this season. The English center-back will now focus on a full recovery ahead of the 2026/27 campaign with the Diagonale, with the club hoping to have him available and fully fit from the very start of next season. Dier ends his first season on the Rocher with two goals, nine tackles, 13 interceptions and 43 clearances in 12 appearances across all competitions.
