Bangkok.
During the final group match of FIFA Futsal World Cup Thailand 2012 that was held on Thursday in Bangkok , Mostafa Tayebi was taken of the area with severe nose bleeding after a clash with a Panamanian player.
While Tayebi was trying to tackle the ball , the Panamanian player swung his arm and hit Tayebi’s face, which lead him to fall on the deck with blood streaming. Apparently it was a severe case as Tayebi had to be rushed to the hospital from the arena for urgent medical attention.
After the match ended , the Panama coach asked all his players to go to the Iranian team’s dressing room to apologize for that unintentional incident which hospitalized one of the Iranian quality players.
Latest reports indicate that Tayebi’s condition is stable and has been released from the hospital;. There is no world on whether he will be available for the last 16 round match.
Meanwhile, Hamid Ahmadi will not be available for Iran’s team after receiving his 2nd yellow card of the tournament. Ahamadi will be absent against Colombia or Guatemala in the next round.
