Title: National Team Duties Present Logistical Challenge for Esteghlal’s Star Player
A Star on International Duty
Duckens Nazoun, a key player for Esteghlal and a member of the Haitian national team, is currently with his national squad preparing for a crucial FIFA World Cup qualifier against Honduras. The striker, who scored in Haiti’s previous international fixture, remains a focal point for national team coach Ricardo Saponito.
A Complex Return Journey
While other Esteghlal national team players are scheduled to return to Tehran on a specific flight this Tuesday to rejoin club training for the upcoming match against Mes Rafsanjan, Nazoun faces a significantly more arduous journey. His commitment to play for Haiti against Honduras on Tuesday creates a complex travel schedule. Due to limited flight availability, he will likely endure a lengthy return trip involving three separate flights and extended transit times to reach Tehran.
Impact on Club Commitments
This demanding travel itinerary will undoubtedly delay his reintegration with Esteghlal’s training sessions. The physical toll of such a journey is also a primary concern, as it could affect his fitness levels. Consequently, coach Saponito may have to consider his lineup options carefully, and it is possible that Nazoun will not be featured in the Friday match against Mes Rafsanjan as the player recovers from his international exertions.
