Title: Dawn’s Return: Esteghlal Boosted as National Team Forward Recovers for League Push
Injury Scare Behind Him
Tehran – Saeed Saharkhizan, the young Esteghlal striker and captain of the national U-23 team, has made a full recovery from an eye injury sustained in the sixth week of the Persian Gulf Pro League. After a period of assessment and rehabilitation, the player has demonstrated complete fitness in recent training sessions with the capital club. Saharkhizan’s return to full health is a significant development for the team’s campaign.
National Duty and Club Commitment
Demonstrating his value to the national program, Saharkhizan recently participated in a training camp with the U-23 national team. Following the conclusion of the camp, he immediately rejoined his club, integrating seamlessly into Esteghlal’s preparations for upcoming fixtures. His swift transition from national to club duties underscores his dedication and professionalism.
A Determined Comeback
Now fully recovered, Saharkhizan is training with high motivation, aiming to reclaim his spot in the team’s starting lineup. Having earned the trust of the technical staff with his positive performances since the start of the season, the fully-fit forward is now poised to seek a more prominent role in Esteghlal’s attacking line.
Seeking the First Goal
Despite his energetic contributions, finding the back of the net has remained an elusive target for the young striker, with a degree of misfortune playing a part. In the match where he was injured, he was unlucky not to score, missing two clear opportunities. Furthermore, tactical decisions have often seen other forwards preferred in the central striker position, limiting his minutes in that role.
Nevertheless, in the playing time he has received, Saharkhizan has consistently proven his value. His mobility and relentless work rate have positively impacted Esteghlal’s offensive maneuvers. His contribution was clear in the first week of the season, where he provided an assist in the match against Tractor, highlighting his ability to influence the game.
A Welcome Boost for the Blues
The Esteghlal technical team views his return as highly positive news. The young player’s dynamism and high motivation are expected to inject fresh energy into the team’s attacking front. Given his satisfactory physical condition and consistent presence in training, it is highly probable that Saharkhizan will feature in the squad for the crucial seventh-week encounter.
