Injury Threatens Azmoun’s Presence in Asian Cup Match Against United Arab Emirates
Iran’s striker, Azmoun, may not be able to play against the United Arab Emirates in the upcoming Asian Cup match due to a muscle strain injury. The player, who is also on the roster for Roma, suffered the injury during the match against Hong Kong and was benched for the entire duration of the game. Although he scored a goal in the previous match against Palestine, his injury now puts his participation in the next game at risk.
Iran is already qualified for the next round with 6 points in the group. This has led the national coach to contemplate not using Azmoun in the upcoming match in order to preserve him for the direct elimination phase.
The seriousness of Azmoun’s injury is yet to be confirmed, but his absence in the crucial fixture will certainly be a blow for Iran. Fans will have to wait and see if the striker will recover in time to play against the United Arab Emirates.
