Folarin Balogun experienced a major setback in his recovery from a shoulder injury that will keep the Monaco and USMNT striker off the pitch for months.

Balogun previously dislocated his shoulder in Monaco's 2–1 victory against Rennes on Oct. 5 and missed seven matches for Monaco, as well as Mauricio Pochettino's first four fixtures as U.S. men's national team head coach. The 23-year-old returned for his club's Champions League bout with Benfica and even started Monaco's next Ligue 1 clash against Marseille on Dec. 1, but he had to come off the pitch due to discomfort in his shoulder.
