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.
