Maghnes Akliouche a doubt, Aleskandr Golovin out as Monaco look to secure Coupe de France progression | OneFootball

AS Monaco could be bolstered by the return of two key players as they look to beat Stade de Reims on Tuesday and advance to the Round of 16 of the Coupe de France.

Maghnes Akliouche, whose workload is being managed and who therefore missed the draw against FC Nantes on Friday, could feature against Reims, as confirmed by Adi Hütter. However, alternatively, the France youth international could be given more of a breather and may therefore be rested until the game against Montpellier HSC at the weekend.

Takumi Minamino, who also missed the draw against Nantes, will once again be available for selection after recovering from illness. Aleksandr Golovin, however, is still out with illness, as Hütter confirmed in a press conference, attended by Get French Football News.

Mika Biereth, who completed his move to Monaco on Saturday, is available for selection and could be in line to make his debut against Les Stadistes.
