Monaco Striker Aleksandr Golovin Set to Miss Strasbourg Clash Due to Calf Injury
Russian Forward Sustained Injury in Training
No Timetable Set for Return
AS Monaco's attacking woes have been compounded with the news that Russian forward Aleksandr Golovin will miss their upcoming Ligue 1 clash against RC Strasbourg on Saturday due to a calf injury. The 26-year-old sustained the injury in training earlier this week, sending shockwaves through the club. The extent of Golovin's injury is still being assessed, but initial reports suggest it is not as severe as first feared. While no official timetable has been set for his return, he is expected to be sidelined for at least a few weeks. Golovin's absence is a major blow to Monaco, who are already struggling for goals this season. The Russian international has been one of the team's most consistent performers in recent years, contributing with both goals and assists. In Golovin's absence, Monaco will likely turn to Wissam Ben Yedder and Breel Embolo to lead the line. The duo have combined for seven goals in Ligue 1 this season, but they will need to step up their production to compensate for Golovin's absence. Monaco will be hoping to bounce back from their disappointing 1-0 defeat to Montpellier last weekend. They will face a tough test against Strasbourg, who are unbeaten in their last three matches.Monaco will be without Aleksandr Golovin for their upcoming Ligue 1 clash against RC Strasbourg due to a calf injury.
