A knee injury of the worst kind for Alireza Yazdani
20 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Siah Jamegan lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match5 Sep 2026
Siah Jamegan find a way past Malavan
Malavan made Siah Jamegan work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Mohammad Javad Akbari falls out with a teammate over standards
