Mehdi Torabi News: Visa issues resolved

Torabi has received a multi-entry US visa that should allow him to feature in the remaining World Cup contests, Erfan Hoseiny of The Asian Football Show reports.

Torabi is presumably set to be in contention for playing time in Iran's upcoming fixtures, although he stayed on the bench in the initial draw against New Zealand, so his role might continue to be limited. The left winger has stood out as a playmaker at the club level and previously produced one assist over 12 national-team outings since 2019. He could eventually replace Aria Yousefi in future games.
