Persian Gulf Pro League Week 12 suspensions: Azizi, Ahmadi out
Five names are suspended for Persian Gulf Pro League Week 12, including Tractor team manager Khodadad Azizi and Sepahan coach Rahman Ahmadi. See the full list.
The suspension list for Week 12 of Iran's Persian Gulf Pro League has been confirmed, with five people from five different clubs ruled out of this round. Two well-known figures from club staff are among those who will miss out.
Azizi and Ahmadi banned from the touchline
Khodadad Azizi, Tractor's team manager and a former Iran national team star, will not be with the Tabriz side this week after a ruling by the disciplinary committee. At Sepahan, coaching staff member Rahman Ahmadi, the club's former goalkeeper, is also banned after being shown a red card. Losing key figures on the bench is an unwelcome setback for two of the league's biggest names.
Players suspended at Kheybar, Fajr Sepasi and Nassaji
On the playing side, Kheybar's Mehrad Ghanbari and Fajr Sepasi's Mehdi Sharifi will sit out Week 12 following their dismissals. Nassaji will be without Alireza Arasteh, who picked up his fourth yellow card of the season and must serve a one-match ban. The coaches of all three teams now have to find replacements to fill the gaps in their line-ups.
Tractor, Kheybar, Fajr Sepasi, Nassaji and Sepahan therefore head into Week 12 short-handed, in a round that could shake up the Iranian league table.
