As Monaco FC gears up for their Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, the club has announced that midfielder Wanda Mbabeni is currently undergoing surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee.

Mbabeni was reportedly injured during a friendly match with French side Grenoble on Wednesday night, but he did not play or receive any treatment until Saturday morning. He underwent a scan after being stretchered off the pitch and it revealed a tear in his knee ligaments.

The news comes as MonacoFC have struggled this season, struggling to keep pace with the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Ligue 1 giants Lyon. They finished the league season with just one point from 26 games, which was enough to finish bottom of the table.

Despite their poor form, Mbabeni remains confident that he will be fit to return to action and could even feature in the team's final pre-season game against Barcelona on August 17th.

However, there is still no word on when he will be available to play for the first team, which could potentially impact the outcome of Monaco's Champions League clash against PSG. The club has been working closely with medical staff to ensure that Mbabeni receives the necessary treatment and rehabilitation, but there is no guarantee that he will be ready for action at the start of the campaign.

In the meantime, fans can take heart that the club's management and staff remain committed to helping Mbabeni recover fully and get back into the fold as soon as possible. It will be an emotional time for the player, who has always been a key member of the team, and fans will be hoping that he recovers quickly and can help Monaco climb out of their current low points.
