Esteghlal Striker Diabaté Sidelined for One Month
Iran's Esteghlal football team forward Cheick Tidiane Diabaté has been sidelined for one month.

The Malian striker will be out of action with a strained left oblique muscle.

He injured in the match against Naft Masjed Soleyman and also missed Tehran derby, where Esteghlal lost to its arch-rival Persepolis 1-0 in Tehran’s Azadi Stadium.

It will be a big injury blow for Esteghlal since the team has scored just two goals in four matches.

Esteghlal will meet Zob Ahan on Thursday in week 5 of Iran Professional League.
