Hashemnejad's Return Cautious / Worrying Pubis for Tractor Star!

Tractor is cautiously monitoring the return of Mehdi Hashemnejad, so that the player's long absence does not lead to a rushed decision to use him.

According to "Varzesh Se", Mehdi Hashemnejad was one of Tractor's absentees in the match against Shamal. The winger of the red-colored national team did not accompany his team in this Asian match, as Javad Nekonam had informed about the possibility of using him before the match with Esteghlal. However, Hashemnejad's return to the match list did not mean that he reached full fitness.

In the press conference before the Esteghlal match, Nekonam explained that Hashemnejad participated in the team's training for only two or three days after getting over the injury. The head coach of Tractor confirmed his presence in the list, but at the same time pointed out that this player is far from the condition of the match. The issue that showed that the technical staff is still cautious to give playing time to this winger.

This approach was also seen in Nekonam's speech after the draw against Esteghlal. He said about not using Hashemnejad: "Hashemnejad can help the team, but I don't want to delay the return of this player to play a few minutes."

The difficult trip to Oman also caused this caution to continue. To reach Muscat, the tractor convoy first flew to Najaf, then traveled by land to Baghdad and from there to Oman. A multi-stage trip with flights, bus transfers and long waits that took up much of the team's preparation time.

In such a situation, the preference of the technical staff was that Hashemnejad did not enter this heavy trip and had more time to complete the return process. The player, who had just arrived at group training, experienced not being exposed to the long journey and the pressure of the Asian competition so that his return would not be rushed.

Hashemnejad's injury was mentioned earlier in the groin area, and there is a history of his problem re-escalating in Nekonam's reports and talks. It is also possible that this injury is related to the area of ​​the pubic bone, although this has not yet been confirmed as a definitive diagnosis. This long history of injury increases the importance of caution in his return.

In the absence of Mehdi Torabi, Tractor needs the ability of Hashemnejad on the sides of the field. Nekonam also spoke about the limitations of his choices in the winger position, but even this need did not make him rush to use Hashemnejad. The Reds hope that he will return with sufficient preparation and be able to have an effective presence in the team during the league and Asian competitions.
