Published: April 22, 2015

Elderson Echiejile was not named in Monaco’s starting XI for tonight’s Champions League quarter - final second leg tie with Juventus at the Stade Louis II.

Once again, the Principality side’s manager has preferred France international left - back Layvin Kurzawa to the Super Eagles defender.

On the other hand, Angelo Ogbonna will have to wait to make his second start in the competition if Juventus progress as widely expected.

The Italy international has been named in the 18 - man squad but will start from the bench.

Juventus defeated Monaco 1 - 0 in the first leg played in Turin last week.
