Golovin was injured in the match of the Russian team with Iran

Footballer of the Russian national team Alexander Golovin was injured in a friendly match with the team of Iran, which was held in Kazan.

“The hose chewed before being replaced. Five minutes before that, there was a foul as he ran off on the counterattack. It hurts. I cannot say anything, the Monaco midfielder was quoted as saying by Sport-Express.

The meeting ended with the score 2: 0. Golovin scored two goals in the first half and was replaced in the 84th minute.

The Russian national team is scheduled for two more matches in the autumn break: on October 3 - with Namibia in Yekaterinburg and on October 6 - with Nigeria in Nizhny Novgorod.

The team of Valery Karpin since 2022 holds only friendly matches – FIFA and UEFA suspended it from their tournaments because of the military operation in Ukraine.
