Masharipov’s Determined Message to Esteghlal: A Swift Return on the Horizon?
Uzbekistani national team player Jaloliddin Masharipov has sent a strong message of reassurance to Esteghlal FC and its fans regarding his recovery from a recent injury, sparking discussion about his potential early return to the pitch.
Despite concerns from supporters and medical advice suggesting the need for surgery, the Esteghlal winger has remained steadfast in his position. In recent days, Masharipov has clearly communicated to the team’s management and technical staff that he does not believe surgery is necessary. He is confident that a rigorous course of physiotherapy will be sufficient for his recovery.
The player has even suggested the possibility of being match-ready for Esteghlal’s upcoming fixture against Al-Wasl of the UAE on September 17th. To keep the public informed, Masharipov has been actively sharing photos and videos of his physiotherapy sessions on social media.
His latest post, featuring a determined pose, is widely interpreted as a signal that his rehabilitation is progressing significantly. It serves as a promise that he intends to honor his commitment to return to action for his club at the earliest opportunity.
However, it is highly unlikely that Esteghlal’s coaching staff would risk fielding the key player without full clearance from their own medical team. The club is expected to make a decision based on comprehensive medical assessments rather than solely on the player’s personal assurances of his fitness.
