Mahdavikia: Injury Is Worse Than I Thought

GOAL - Eintracht Frankfurt star Mehdi Mahdavikia has said that the injury he sustained last week is a little more serious than first thought.

The 2002 Asian Player of the Year tore a muscle in training week and missed his team’s 5-1 thrashing at Nuremburg on Saturday.

"My injury means that I cannot play for the next two weeks at least,” said Kia according to Iran Sports Press.

“Unfortunately after our recent training, I injured my hamstring and after an MRI scan, it was confirmed that its a tear in one of the hamstring muscles and it requires two weeks of rest."

"I have to rest for few days and I will then start the light running and after that I'll continue my personal training under team doctors' supervisions."

The 30 year-old joined Frankfurt in the summer after eight years with Hamburg.
