Title: A Crucial Test for Esteghlal’s International Signings
Analysis: Foreign Players Under Review
Recent weeks have seen the technical staff of Esteghlal Football Club conduct a thorough review of player performances. According to these assessments, several players, particularly the team’s high-profile international signings, have not yet met performance expectations.
Final Opportunity to Impress
It is reported that two players, Dukens Nazon and Moussa Gnepo, are now at a critical juncture, facing a potential departure from the club. The remaining matches leading up to the mid-season break are considered their final chance to demonstrate their abilities and value to the squad. So far, their contributions have been limited, and they have not played a significant role in the team’s successes this season. Should their current form persist, they are expected to be placed on the transfer list.
Broader Squad Strategy
While these two players are under particular scrutiny, they are not alone. Several other squad members are also nearing an exit. However, manager Sá Pinto is currently inclined to retain more experienced players to ensure squad depth is maintained for the long and demanding season ahead.
The report also notes that Armin Sohrabian and Ramin Rezaeian have seen their playing time significantly reduced in recent weeks, suggesting they too could be facing a more permanent position on the bench unless their situations change.
