Monaco’s Russian midfielder Alexander Golovin will miss the club’s upcoming match against Ajaccio in the 28th round of the French championship, according to the official club site.
The reason given for Golovin’s absence from training ahead of the clash is discomfort in the right adductor region. The extent of the injury has not been disclosed, leaving the team and fans awaiting further medical updates.
Golovin was recently included in Russia’s March training camp plans, with the national squad gathering on March 19 for a pair of friendly matches. The team is scheduled to face Iran in Tehran on March 23, followed by a clash with the Iraqi national team in St. Petersburg.
It is worth noting that in response to ongoing geopolitical developments, FIFA and UEFA decided last year to suspend Russia from all competitions organized by those bodies, affecting both the national team and Russian clubs. This context has shaped the schedule and international participation for Russian footballers and teams in recent seasons.
Reports from previously circulated sources also touched on speculation regarding the Russian national team lineup, with some suggesting that former Moscow Locomotive coach Yuri Semin offered opinions on the federation’s selections, including Golovin and Alexei Miranchuk. attribution: Official club communications and league updates.
