Title: Persepolis FC Faces Setback as Key Winger Bifouma Sidelined by Injury
Injury Strikes During Friendly Match
Teenage forward Thievy Bifouma, a key player for Persepolis FC, has sustained an injury that casts doubt on his availability for the team’s upcoming league match. The Congolese winger was injured during a friendly match this past Saturday against Palayesh Naft Bandar Abbas following a strong challenge from an opposing player.
Training Absence Highlights Concern
The severity of the injury was further emphasized on Monday when Bifouma was unable to participate in the team’s training session. Due to this setback, team officials currently rate his chances of featuring in the crucial Friday match against Shams Azar Qazvin as low. His potential absence would be a significant blow to the team’s preparations.
A Blow to Form and Momentum
The timing of this injury is particularly unfortunate for Persepolis, as Bifouma had been in impressive form. He was widely regarded as one of the team’s standout performers in recent matches, including the league game against Esteghlal Khuzestan and another preparatory match against Gol Gohar Sirjan. His contributions on the field have been vital to the team’s recent performances, making his recovery a primary focus for the club as they navigate their competitive schedule.
