Ansarifard back from injury

Persianfootball.com – PAMPLONA, Iran and Osasuna striker Karim Ansarifard recovered from his ankle injury earlier than expected and might return to action today already, when Osasuna will face Sporting Gijon in Liga Adelante.

The 24-year-old had injured himself late in a successful starting eleven debut last week, but returned to training on Thursday and made the match squad – unlike his compatriot Javad Nekounam who will be rested.

Also in league action on Sunday will be Daniel Davari and Alireza Jahanbakhsh while Sardar Azmoun and Alireza Haghighi will play on Monday.
