Recovered Teymourian joins Iran training

PFDC – TEHRAN, Midfielder Andranik Teymourian and striker Reza Ghoochannejhad joined the Iranian national team’s camp on Thursday.

The duo had worked out in the gym together with fellow legionnaire Omid Nazari on Thursday, but both participated in the regular training session on Friday.

Teymourian had suffered an injury in Qatar last week and initially his absence for the upcoming match against Uzbekistan was feared, but fortunately the injury turned out to be not too serious.

Meanwhile the injured Nazari and Ali Karimi missed out Friday’s team training as well and again worked out separately from the rest of the squad.

Only winger Ashkan Dejagah, who will still have to take on Arsenal with Fulham on Saturday, is still missing from the 25-man squad Iran boss Carlos Queiroz had named for the World Cup qualifier against Uzbekistan in Tehran on November 14.
