The claim, which has not been officially confirmed by the Iranian Football Federation or the player's camp, was linked to Iran's upcoming World Cup fixture against New Zealand.
While the report remains unsubstantiated, if true, it would be a significant setback for Iran as they aim to make an impact in the tournament. Fans and analysts await further clarification from official sources.
