Iran focused on fitness in Turkiye after war-enforced furlough
Iran coach Amir Ghalenoei said he and his staff would have their work cut out getting their squad ready for the World Cup at their training camp in Turkiye with most of the players having been out of action for the last seven weeks. The domestic Arabian Gulf Pro League season was suspended after the United States and Israel launched air strikes on Iran in late February and will not resume until after the World Cup. Of the 30-man squad Ghalenoei named on Saturday, 22 play for Iranian clubs and have been restricted to a Tehran national team training camp since friendlies against Costa Rica and Nigeria in Antalya in late March. “Naturally, I am not fully satisfied with the players’ level of readiness,” Ghalenoei told the Iranian FA (FFIR) magazine before the departure for Turkiye on Monday. “But with a training camp that is approximately two and a half to three weeks long, we can make up about 20 to 25 percent of this shortfall. “We need to raise our domestic-based players to the level required by the modern game,” he added.
