The attacker has been injured and will be sidelined for weeks, and thus until the end of the season.
It is unclear what Jahanbakhsh is suffering from; as head coach Robin Veldman only said that the attacker is no longer being counted on for this season. With the Iranian having an expiring contract, the collaboration with Heerenveen looks to be ending quietly.
The 92-time Iran international wants to look for an adventure outside the Netherlands for next season. He was already looking for that last year, but because Jahanbakhsh was busy obtaining his Dutch passport, he decided to stay in the Eredivisie longer.
Jahanbakhsh was added to the Heerenveen selection in early November. Before that, he had been without a club for a few months, following his departure from Feyenoord. The 31-year-old right winger played 19 league matches for the Frisians, 16 of which as a starter.
