Branco Ivancovic, coach, told reporters:
"I'm afraid we face some problems and Rahman Rezaei and Alireza
Vahedi Nikbakht wont arrive in Syria. "he added: "Rezaei has injury in his
knee and his condition will be clear during the next 3 days. I've send my
report about Nikbakht to the Discipline Committee and I have nothing to do
with him but in addition I don't know why his club didn't agree for his
presence in national camp."
Branco explained: "Probably we just have 5 adult players in Syria and we
recruit 2 other players in order to avoid damage."
He also included that: "We decided to take Ali Daei with us but his club did
not agree and we miss him also.
