TEHRANTIMES - Esteghlal head coach Amir Ghalenoei will not be on the bench for today’s match against Tractor Sazi in the 12th week of the Iran Pro League (IPL).

It’s rumored that Ghalenoei doesn’t want to meet Tractor fans but team manager Mirshad Majedi said, “Ghalenoei suffering a knee injury and doctors told him it’s better to rest at home and not travel to Tabriz.”
