TEHRAN - Iranian winger of Lech Poznan Allahyar Sayyadmanesh sustained an a hamstring injury and set to miss the team’s next nine matches.
Sayyadmanesh picked up the injury to his biceps femoris muscle during one of Lech Poznan’s recent training sessions. Head coach Niels Frederiksen confirmed the setback after Saturday’s 2-2 friendly draw against Energie Cottbus.
“Allahyar’s situation is serious. He is out because of a hamstring injury. We expect him to be sidelined for around four weeks, and after four weeks he should return to the team. It is not good news, but that is football,” Frederiksen said in an interview with the club’s television channel.
The injury comes at a particularly difficult time for Lech Poznan, who are entering a busy stretch of the season. If Sayyadmanesh follows the expected recovery timeline, he will miss nine consecutive matches across domestic and European competitions.
