Brazil 2014: Iran almost set for Eagles

Iran Coach, Carlos Querioz yester­day, trimmed his Brazil 2014 FIFA World Cup squad to 24, dropping strik­er, Mohammadreza Khalatbari, who qualified the country for the mundial.
The list published on the Iran Football Fed­eration website would be made public today. Iran’s final squad was delayed due to a medi­cal report on defender, Hashem Beykzadeh, who sustained a calf injury in a warm up match against Monte­nengro.  According to the fed­eration, even if injured Beykzadeh is declared fit by the doctors, his potential replacement Mohammad Khanza­deh of Zob Ahan Isfah­an will also travel with the team to Brazil.
