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.
