Football News - Injured Azmoun in Iran World Cup squad, Ebrahimi out
2022-11-14 12:22Injured striker Sardar Azmoun was named to Iran's World Cup squad on Sunday, but midfielder Omid Ebrahimi was ruled out of coach Carlos Queiroz's 25 after suffering a groin injury in this week 's friendly off the list .
Azmon , 27 , has not played since tearing a muscle in his right calf while warming up for Bayer Leverkusen 's Champions League tie with Porto on October 4 , and his Bundesliga club said he was expected to miss six to eight week.
Midfielder Ebrahimi suffered a groin injury in Thursday's friendly against Nicaragua. The 35 -year-old played well under Queiroz in 2018 but has only made four appearances for Iran since November 2019 .
Mehdi Talemi , who has scored 13 goals in 19 appearances for Porto this season , will lead alone in Qatar if the Leverkusen striker clears his injury in time for his opening game against England on November 21 , or partner with Azmon.
Iran will play a final warm-up match against Tunisia in Doha before taking on England, Wales and the United States in Group B.
