The last easy situation before the game with Al-Gharafa; Decision with Sohrab
The result of Yaser Asani's test last night was satisfactory, and now Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh has to decide whether he will be a regular or substitute against Al-Gharafa.
The latest tests done on Yasser Asani's ankle have brought promising news for Esteghlal. The test that was taken from the Albanian winger last night had a good result and showed that the treatment process of his injury has progressed as expected.
After this test, Asani participated in Esteghlal's group training and was able to do part of the technical staff's programs along with other players. His presence in group training has significantly increased the possibility of his name being included in the list to meet with Al-Gharafa.
Now, the main uncertainty is not about the presence or absence of Easy in the list, and it should be seen what decision Bakhtiarizadeh makes on how to use him. The choice between being in the main lineup or entering during the match depends on the opinion of the head coach of Esteghlal and the amount of risk he accepts to use this player.
Bakhtiarizadeh may put Asani on the bench to prevent the injury from returning and use him if needed. On the other hand, the high importance of this player in the attacking structure of Esteghlal can convince the head coach of the Blues to include his name in the starting line-up.
With the easy passing of last night's test, the hand of the technical staff has been opened to select the offensive linemen. Now the final decision is in the hands of Sohrab and it should be seen whether he will use his Albanian star from the first minute or sit on the bench as one of the most important substitutes.
