Inter Milan star Mehdi Taremi will probably feature for Iran in their next 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Uzbekistan.

According to FCInterNews, the 32-year-old is fully fit again after struggling with a minor groin injury.

Indeed, Mehdi Taremi watched from the bench as Iran beat the United Arab Emirates 2-0 at home yesterday.

Even without his contribution, Amir Ghaleonei’s side claimed a comfortable win to maintain a dream Group A record.

With six wins from seven matches, they’re on the verge of securing a fourth consecutive appearance in the finals.

After being an unused substitute against the UAE, Taremi should return to the starting XI next week.

However, hopefully, it will not aggravate the problem as Simone Inzaghi desperately needs him.

With Lautaro Martinez injured, it’ll likely be up to the ex-Porto star to fill the void in attack.

Indeed, he should partner up with Marcus Thuram in next weekend’s home clash against Udinese in Serie A.
