Mehdi Taremi played in a world cup qualification for Iran on Tuesday, but the Inter Milan striker is now justified in Tehran with air space as a conflict with Israel escalates
Mehdi Taremi has not been able to add his Inter Milan teammates for the Club World Cup in Iran, with air space closed during the escalating conflict with Israel.
For Iran, the attacker scored in their 3-0 World Cup qualifying match against North Korea in Tehran on Tuesday evening and was intended to add on Saturday to his club in Los Angeles for their group E opener against Monterrey, who starts on Wednesday at 2 o'clock BST.
But he is stranded in his home country and Italian media reports say that the 32-year-old is now no longer expected to join Inter for the FIFA tournament-ongacht or reopens Iranian air space.
Flights have been justified since Israel launched a military operation on nuclear locations and various Iranian commanders on Thursday. Since then they have taken revenge, focused on Tel Aviv, with dozens of people who have been reported dead.
Taremi signed for Inter van Porto last year and made 26 performances in the Serie A this season, although only seven of them started when the side of Milan finished second behind Napoli.
He also played a dozen times in their Champions League run, but was an unused replacement for their 5-0 humiliation in the hands of Paris Saint Germain in the final.
Inter is also confronted with the Japanese club Urawa Red Diamonds and South African Giants River Plate in the group phase of the new and controversial 32-team tournament that runs until July 14.
The Serie A -side is accompanied by domestic rivals and 10 other European parties, represented by Chelsea and Manchester City.
Despite a price fund of £ 775 million, with the winners who could bank almost £ 100 million for seven work games, many players complained about having to participate in a tournament for what is usually their short off-season.
The tournament started on Saturday evening at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami with Lionel Messi's Inter Miami who played a tasteless scoreless draw against Al Ahly.
