After the Venezuelan team reversal and refusal to travel to Tehran, Team Melli has one opportunity now in FIFA day and that match will be against Trinidad.
Notable long-term absentees are Saeed Ezatolahie who might only recover in December , Morteza Pouraliganji and Pejman Montazeri. Alireza Jahanbakhsh also has a slight knock but might make it to the match in Azadi.
