After missing his team’s first international match due to injury, Mehdi Taremi couldn’t have ended this international break better, returning with a brace in a match drawn against Uzbekistan. These two decisive goals were extremely important for his national team, securing Iran‘s qualification for the upcoming 2026 World Cup.

However, despite consistently positive performances at home, Taremi has noticeably struggled in his first season at Inter. Given his international experience, many expected a greater contribution, especially in terms of scoring goals. In addition, his adjustment period in Italy has been hindered by an annoying injury issue that the former Porto striker has been dealing with for several months.

The nature of the injury troubling Taremi was revealed by Hatam Shiralizadeh in an exclusive interview with Passione Inter. As the Iranian football expert and journalist explained, the Inter forward is suffering from pubalgia: It appears that he has been battling pubalgia throughout this season and still faces this issue.
