Eligible again Golovin has served his respective suspensions in Ligue 1 and Champions League play and may be selected again for future fixtures.

Impact Golovin has been a mixed fantasy asset lately, picking up three assists and two red cards over his last pair of appearances across all competitions. He could be reliable as a playmaker if he avoids further disciplinary faults, but he must compete for a spot with all of Simon Adingra, Maghnes Akliouche and a recently recovered Ansu Fati.

Shown red card after assist in UCL Golovin provided one assist and received a straight red card during Tuesday's UEFA Champions League game versus Paris Saint-Germain.

Impact Golovin was sent off for the second consecutive time after his dismissal in the previous league match, so he's now banned for the next game of each competition against Lens and PSG, respectively. The playmaker has recorded three assists over those two games, but his performance has been marked by the disciplinary issues. Unless Ansu Fati (quadriceps) regains fitness, Mika Biereth may be an offensive option while Golovin is ineligible.

Assists twice, gets sent off Friday Golovin was shown a red card after delivering two assists during Friday's match against Nantes.

Impact Golovin set up his team's second and third goals with passes into the box in the 28th and 30th minutes, respectively, but his performance ended when he received a second yellow card in the 65th. The attacker will consequently miss the upcoming clash against Lens through suspension, so his next chance to appear in league play will come Feb. 28 versus Angers. With Stanis Idumbo barely used in recent games, Ansu Fati could return to the starting lineup while Golovin serves his ban.

Provides one assist in win Golovin assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 4-0 win against Rennes.

Impact Golovin provided an assist for Maghnes Akliouche early in the second half against Rennes on Saturday, snapping an eight-match assist drought. The Russian remains an undisputed starter, having started the last 11 matches while recording two assists and 21 key passes during that span.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Creates two chances in Juventus tilt Golovin won one of two tackles and recorded one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 0-0 draw versus Juventus.

Impact Golovin got to work on both ends and put together a well-rounded performance. He has fired one or more shots in 10 consecutive fixtures, accumulating 14 (seven on target) and registering one assist, 18 chances created and 24 crosses (six accurate) over that span.

Sends in 10 crosses vs Lyon Golovin had one shot (one on goal), 10 crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Lyon.

Impact Golovin led Monaco with a season-high 10 crosses, but it wasn't enough to avoid the home loss. The midfielder took four of their seven corner kicks in the match. That was his 13th start in 15 appearances so far.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Four shots in defeat Golovin recorded four shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Marseille.

Impact Golovin played as Monaco's central creator and was involved in most of their best moments, threading passes to Maghnes Akliouche and helping build two chances that forced late defending from Marseille. He nearly created a breakthrough when Monaco's pressure led to a goal line intervention from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. He kept finding pockets between the lines, but Monaco could not finish their clearest looks. Golovin set a new season high with four shots but couldn't find the back of the net and hasn't done so since late October.

VIDEO: Paul Pogba gives emotional speech to Monaco crowd after massive Ligue 1 win over PSG

Provides assist against PSG Golovin assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Paris Saint-Germain.

Impact Golovin delivered an impressive game on Saturday against PSG, recording his first assist of the season, making several key passes, and playing a vital role in his team's offensive transitions. He recorded two interceptions thanks to his constant pressing throughout the match, highlighting his defensive contribution. Despite competition from Ansu Fati, the Russian has started five of the last six games and appears to have the confidence of coach Sebastien Pocognoli, although he has only two goals and one assist in 11 appearances this season, having missed over a month of action due to a hamstring injury.

Brace off bench Golovin scored two goals to go with three shots (three on goal) in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Nantes.

Impact Golovin was clinical in front of the net, putting all of his shots on frame and coming away with what ultimately was the difference in the match. He's likely to be on the field in some capacity Saturday against Paris FC and has a great matchup, as the side has allowed 20 goals in 10 Ligue 1 games.

OCTOBER 29, 2025 • Associated Press

Quiet in win Golovin sent in one inaccurate cross, made one tackle and two interceptions, drew one foul and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 1-0 win over Toulouse.

Impact Golovin made his first start after returning from injury during midweek's UCL game but still looked rusty in the middle of the park, not generating any dangerous action while he was on the pitch. He is a premier playmaker when fully fit, but it rarely happens for a full season since his arrival to Monaco in 2018 so his fantasy outlook is a big question mark until he can put together a stretch of consistent playing time.

Returns to team Golovin (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Angers.

Impact Golovin is back after missing the last month of play with a hamstring injury. However, he is not fit to start, though will look to make his return to the lineup in the midfield once fully fit.

Spotted in team training Golovin (hamstring) was spotted training normally with the team on Tuesday, according to Vivien Seiller from Nice Matin.

Impact Golovin is nearing a return from a hamstring injury and has shown good progress after being spotted training normally with the team on Tuesday under new coach Sebastien Pocognoli for the first time. The Russian has been an important starter for Monaco since 2018, but it remains to be seen if he will be part of the plans to stay an important player under the new coach given the competition within the squad.

Doing light runs Thursday Golovin (hamstring) was spotted making some light runs on Thursday at La Turbie, according to Christopher Roux of Nice Matin.

Impact Golovin is progressing well in his rehabilitation from a hamstring injury as he was spotted doing light runs on Thursday morning. The Russian will still need a few more weeks to recover from the injury, with his return planned for Oct. 18 against Angers after the next international break for the time being. Until then, Takumi Minamino is expected to get a larger role in the midfield for the Diagonale.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss several weeks Golovin will miss several weeks due to a significant hamstring injury suffered in training last week, according to La Diagonale.

Impact Golovin suffered a hamstring injury last week that turned out to be significant, as he is now reportedly set to miss several weeks to recover. He is expected to return at the earliest for the derby against Nice on Oct. 5, though a comeback after the international break against Angers on Oct. 18 appears more likely. This is a blow for Monaco since Golovin began the season in form as a regular starter, and his absence will force a change with Takumi Minamino expected to take a larger role on the left side of the midfield.
