MojNews-Vahid Amiri, the winger of  Iran national football team missed 2023 AFC Asian Cup. 

The Persepolis player suffered a hamstring tear in the match against Al Nassr in the 2023 AFC Champions League in mid-September in Tehran and came off the bench in the match against Tajikistan’s Istiklol in Dushanbe in early November but his hamstring injury seems to have worsened and he would require some more time now.

He is expected to be out of action for at least six weeks

Amiri will not be fit for the Asian Cup, where Team Melli are drawn in Group C along with Palestine, Hong Kong and the UAE.

Amiri’s absence will be a huge blow for the national team and his club Persepolis.
