Title: Persepolis Forward’s Injury Sparks Concern Ahead of Crucial Derby
Tehran – Persepolis forward T. V. Bifoma, whose performance has notably improved under the guidance of head coach Osimar Vieira, showcased his promising form during the recent match against Palayesh Naft. Despite not directly contributing to the scoresheet, the player continued his positive trajectory on the field.
In-Game Setback
However, the team’s momentum was tempered when Bifoma sustained an injury following a heavy challenge in the first half. As a precautionary measure, Coach Vieira opted to substitute the player, a decision that immediately raised concerns within the club’s technical staff regarding his fitness for upcoming fixtures.
Positive Prognosis for Key Player
Initial medical assessments have since provided reassurance, indicating that the injury is not serious. It is highly probable that Bifoma will be available for the next league encounter. The early substitution is now understood to be a strategic move by the coaching staff, prioritizing the player’s readiness for the highly anticipated city derby, a critical fixture in the domestic football calendar.
