TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Shahram Mahmoudi of Iran has been ruled out of the 2014 FIVB World League due to injury.

The Iranian star suffered a twisted ankle in the match against Poland in the sixth week of the 2014 FIVB World League on June 30 in Tehran.

He failed to travel to Poland due to injury, where the Iranian team suffered two defeats.
