Persepolis Midfielder Alishah Misses Al Sadd Match
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Persepolis midfielder Omid Alishah will miss the return leg against Al Sadd of Qatar in the AFC Champions League semi-final.
Persepolis will host the Qatari football team on Tuesday in Tehran’s Azadi Stadium.
Alishah suffered a knee injury in the first leg against Al Sadd in Doha on October 2.
Persepolis faces shortage of players due to the transfer bans in the last two windows.
Defender Hossein Mahini also suffered a season-ending ACL injury in a league match against city-rival Esteghlal in late September.
Persepolis has defeated Al Sadd 1-0 in the first leg and needs only to avoid defeat to qualify for the final match.
