Absence of three key players
Although Hossein Kanani Zadegan, the captain of Persepolis, has returned to group training and his injury has been resolved, it is likely that Yahya Golmohammadi, the head coach of Persepolis, will not use him in the starting lineup to prevent a recurrence of injury. This decision could have a significant impact on the performance of Persepolis's defense line.
