Monaco playmaker Camel Meriem looks set to miss the start of the Ligue 1 season through injury.

During Thursday's training session, Meriem suffered with a big pain in his thigh.

Initial examinations show that he has strained a muscle and is likely to need around a fortnight to recover.

The 27-year-old midfielder is now expected to miss the 4th August clash against St Etienne.
