Kaveh Hosseini breaks a bone — 92 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 92 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Seyed Mehdi Hosseini in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Gostaresh Foulad this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad23 Jan 2040

Words at Gostaresh Foulad training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mehdi Nekounam is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match21 Jan 2040

Gostaresh Foulad come up short against Padideh

Padideh left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad23 Jan 2040

Gostaresh Foulad lose Ehsan Vafaei

29 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market23 Jan 2040

Ehsan Nekounam leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Ehsan Nekounam leaves Gostaresh Foulad the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Match17 Dec 2039

No clean sheets in sight for Gostaresh Foulad

11 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Squad19 Dec 2039

A fracture rules Majid Mohammadi out for 86 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Gostaresh Foulad will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad19 Dec 2039

Mohammad Shojaei keeps Gostaresh Foulad in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match17 Dec 2039

Foolad take the points off Gostaresh Foulad

Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad19 Dec 2039

Mehdi Nekounam falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings19 Dec 2039

Majid Torabi in the eights

A performance of 8.44 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad19 Dec 2039

Ehsan Vafaei out for 64 days

The medical room confirms 64 days on the sidelines for Ehsan Vafaei, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Match17 Dec 2039

No time for Foolad to settle

The goal that put Foolad ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when Gostaresh Foulad equalised, 2 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.

Player ratings19 Dec 2039

Panji Apriawan turns it into his own net

Nobody's fault and entirely his: a goal that goes into the book with his name against it and nothing about it intended. Gostaresh Foulad deserved better, and so did he.
