Inter Milan forward Mehdi Taremi stuck in Iran, will miss Club World Cup
Inter Milan forward Mehdi Taremi will not be able to join his teammates at the Club World Cup in the United States as he is stuck in Tehran amid the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel.
Flights from all Iranian airports have been grounded following an exchange of military strikes between Iran and Israel over the last two days.
That meant the Iran international was unable to take his scheduled flight on Saturday to join his Inter teammates in Los Angeles.
Taremi will miss Inter's opening match against Monterrey on Wednesday, and the Italian media reports that the 32-year-old will not feature in the other matches either, regardless of whether Iranian airspace reopens.
Taremi joined Inter from Porto last year.
