Farshid Karimi, agent of Iranian goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand, spoke about the player's condition after he was injured in a World Cup match against England in an interview with Telecomasia.net.
When he broke his nose in the game against England, we were very worried about him. Alireza really wanted to participate in the World Cup and help the Iranian national team, so he made the decision to play against the United States through pain. Now he feels much better, he can already take part in matches for his club.
