TEHRANTIMES - Wolfsburg Iranian striker Ashkan Dejagah will be out of action for at least eight weeks, according to the Iran football team’s doctor, Parhan Khanlari.

The 25-year-old, who was carried off on a stretcher in a match against Werder Bremen, is going to miss up to eight weeks due to a strained right hamstring.

“Dejagah may return sooner than the Wolfsburg’s doctors have diagnosed. It is not impossible, tt depends on his body’s ability to recover. But he will likely miss the match against Uzbekistan,” said Khanlari.  

The Iran football team will kick off the final round of the Asian World Cup qualifiers with a tough away match against Uzbekistan on June 3.
