Kevin Yamga A Doubt for Tehran Derby
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Esteghlal has been dealt a blow ahead of Wednesday's Tehran derby with winger Kevin Yamga a major fitness doubt because of a foot injury.
The French player was forced to leave the match against Persepolis in May due to a thigh muscle injury, where Esteghlal suffered a 1-0 loss in the Tehran derby.
Now, Esteghlal has announced that Yamga is not fit for Wednesday’s match.
Esteghlal will play Iran league champion Persepolis in the 2022-23 Hazfi Cup final in Tehran’s Azadi Stadium.
Esteghlal defender Rouzbeh Cheshmi will also likely miss the match due to an injury.
