A number of West Ham United loanees were in action for their respective sides of the weekend, with minutes recorded across Europe's leagues and cup competitions...
Thilo Kehrer made his debut for AS Monaco as his loan spell started with a Coupe de France win on spot kicks against RC Lens.
The Germany international, who made 50 appearances in east London since joining from Paris Saint-Germain in 2022, helped his side progress into the last 32 as a tense 2-2 draw was ultimately decided by penalties.
Midfielder Soungoutou Magassa struck the winning penalty as Monaco progressed 6-5 in the shootout.
As a result, Kehrer and company eliminated Lens – the side who will play West Ham’s group-stage opponents SC Freiburg in the UEFA Europa League last 32. Kehrer could now make his home and league debut on Saturday 13 January as third-placed Monaco host Stade de Reims in Ligue 1.
A positive result also arrived for Freddie Potts’ Wycombe Wanderers ahead of Tuesday night's Bristol Street Motors Trophy last 32 tie with West Ham United U21s.
Wycombe saw Sam Vokes cancel out a Beryly Lubala opener to take a point from a tense affair against Burton Albion in EFL League One on Saturday afternoon.
Twenty-year-old Potts made his 18th league appearance of the season and played the full 90 minutes as Wycombe stayed 16th in the table, with seven wins from 25 games.
Potts, who signed a three-year deal ahead of his loan move, will not be eligible for Tuesday's fixture against the Hammers' development side.
Elsewhere, Flynn Downes was an unused substitute for Southampton, who progressed to round four of the Emirates FA Cup with a 4-0 win over Walsall.
Meanwhile, Mason Terry and Keenan Appiah-Forson saw their respective matches for Concord Rangers and Dagenham & Redbridge postponed.
