Teymourian doubtful for Qatar clash
Persianfootball.com – SYDNEY, Iran midfielder Andranik Teymourian suffered a hamstring injury in Team Melli’s Asian Cup opener against Bahrain on Sunday and might miss the match against Qatar on Thursday.
It will be decided on Wednesday, if the veteran defensive midfielder will be able to compete against the tiny but ambitious Persian Gulf state.
Teymourian set up both goals in the 2-0 win over Bahrain with corner kicks.
Esteghlal midfielder Omid Ebrahimi would be the most likely replacement for the 31-year-old, although several other alternatives would be availble too.
