United States striker Folarin Balogun is facing a setback as he is set to be sidelined for approximately two months due to a shoulder injury, a source close to the player revealed on Wednesday. Balogun, who has been in impressive form, recently scored for the third consecutive game as Monaco secured a 2-1 victory over Rennes on October 5. However, his celebration was short-lived as he had to exit the match prematurely due to the injury.
The injury, identified as a dislocated shoulder, occurred during the game, forcing Balogun to be substituted in the second half. Despite his crucial goal in the 22nd minute that secured the win for Monaco, the striker had to be withdrawn from the match due to the injury.
