PLDC - Tehran, Regarding Khosrow Heydari's condition for the 77th edition of the Tehran Derby, Dr Amin Noroozi said, “With regard to his calf strain that happened in the game against Esteghlal Khuzestan, after examining his foot M.R.I scans, it was clear that this player is not match-fit for the derby due to bleeding of the injured part of his foot.”

He added, “If Heydari enters the pitch in this game, his injury can become worse and in order to not risk anything, he should not enter the pitch tomorrow. With regard to the short time of 5 days after the game against Esteghlal Khuzestan, there is no chance for this player to participate in the derby."

Before this incident, Hashem Beikzadeh also missed the chance to play against Persepolis due to a nose injury.
