Rewritten Title: Strategic Shift: Persepolis FC Reintegrates Key Player in Late-Season Maneuver
Rewritten Article:
A Welcome Return
In a tactical recalibration, Persepolis FC has reintegrated midfielder Mohammad Omari into its lineup following his successful recovery from injury. The move, confirmed ahead of the team’s upcoming match, is seen as a strategic boost for head coach Vahid Hashemian, who has long awaited the player’s return to peak condition.
Addressing a Tactical Gap
Omari’s comeback is particularly timely. Coach Hashemian has been grappling with the right-wing position, having tested several players there with limited success. This experimentation even necessitated moving Mohammad Khodabandelou out of his natural role to fill the gap. With Omari now slotted in on the right wing, Khodabandelou is freed up to return to a more central position, potentially stabilizing the team’s midfield structure.
A Domino Effect in the Lineup
Omari’s reintroduction creates a cascade of positive selection options for the coaching staff. The central attacking midfield role, a position Omari favors, is currently occupied by Omid Alishah, with Soroush Rafiei also operating as an advanced midfielder. Omari’s availability on the wing allows for greater flexibility, enabling the manager to optimize the placement of Khodabandelou, Alishah, and Rafiei based on form and tactical requirements for the match against Kheybar Khorramabad. The final composition will also be influenced by the fitness of wiston uronov, who remains a primary option for the left wing when fully prepared.
