Kanaanizadegan A Fitness Doubt for Uzbekistan Match


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran national football team defender Mohammad Hossein Kanaanizadegan will likely miss the match against Uzbekistan.

Uzbekistan will host Iran in the 2026 World Cup qualifier at the Bunyodkor Stadium in Tashkent on Thursday.

Kanaanizadegan suffered a foot injury in the match against Chadormalu, where Persepolis won the match 1-0 in Tehran’s Takhti Stadium.

Uzbekistan sits top of Group A with six points out of two matches. Team Melli is second due to an inferior goal difference.
