Persianfootball.com – TEHRAN, As reported by ISNA, after a two hour meeting with his technical team in South Africa, Carlos Queiroz Iran’s national team head coach decided to cross out all of the Sepahan’s Team Melli players from the Team Melli list.

The Portuguese decided to keep Foolal players Jamaati, Rahmani and Makani and those from Tractor Ansarifard and Lak in Team Melli list which they will join the camp this Saturday.

For the Esteghlal players, Queiroz decided that due to their tough schedule they should rest and spend some time with their families and then join the Team Melli camp on Monday.

According to ISNA, the Team Melli camp in South Africa will end on May 6 after which Team Melli will return to Tehran and following a short rest will travel to Austria for another camp.
