Title: Iranian International Ali Gholizadeh Nears First-Team Return with Polish Club Lech Poznań
Injury Comeback on the Horizon
While most of his teammates are on a break, Iranian winger Ali Gholizadeh is in the final stages of his recovery, putting in intensive work to return from a three-month absence. According to club plans, he is on the verge of rejoining the main squad for full training sessions.
Structured Rehabilitation Program
Polish club Lech Poznań has announced that their Iranian attacker, following surgery on an adductor muscle and subsequent treatment, has been training with the second team this week. Under the supervision of Grzegorz Wojtkowiak, Gholizadeh has undergone moderate-intensity sessions in Wronki, at the club’s academy. This phase of his regimen is specifically designed to prepare him for the high-intensity work required with the first team.
Scheduled Return to Full Training
The club’s technical staff has outlined that, barring any setbacks, Gholizadeh is scheduled to reintegrate into full first-team training on Monday, November 17th. This development significantly increases the likelihood of his availability for the squad’s match against Radomiak on November 23rd.
Coach’s Confidence in Recovery Process
“Karol Sikora,” a fitness coach for Lech, emphasized, “The recovery program was structured so that Ali could begin high-pressure training at this stage and enter the final phase of his preparation.”
Focus on Club Commitments
The club also noted that while there was a possibility of Gholizadeh receiving a call-up to the Iranian national team for a friendly, a decision was ultimately made for the player to remain with his club. This allows him to complete his fitness process uninterrupted, ensuring he is in optimal condition for his club’s demanding schedule.
A Boost for the Team’s Campaign
Gholizadeh’s last appearance before his injury was in a UEFA Champions League playoff against Crvena zvezda. His return is seen as a timely reinforcement for Lech Poznań, which faces a congested fixture list across multiple competitions after the international break. His comeback is expected to add significant depth and enhance the team’s offensive capabilities.
