Mehdi Taremi, a star player for Porto, has faced many challenges this season. Unfortunately, it seems he may not be able to play against Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday due to an injury to his abductor muscle in his right thigh. The 31-year-old joined Porto in 2020 and has been a dominant force, scoring an impressive 86 goals in 172 games across various competitions.
However, this season has not been kind to Taremi. He has only scored three goals in the top league in Portugal and three more in other competitions. The last time he scored for Porto was on December 23rd, and since then he has been busy representing his home country of Iran in the Asian Cup. Despite playing in Porto's last two games, it seems the injury he sustained in training on Sunday may keep him from playing against Arsenal.
In addition to Taremi, other players such as Gonçalo Ribeiro, Marcano, and Zaidu are also undergoing treatment before the game against Arsenal. Taremi's contract with Porto is set to expire in six months, and there are rumors that he may join Inter Milan at the end of the season. Manager Sergio Conceicao, who played for Inter Milan himself, has nothing but respect for Taremi and his professionalism.
Conceicao stated, "Porto pays him well, but Mehdi has always shown respect for the club and is a true professional." He went on to explain that he understands Taremi's desire to move on and that he has seen other players leave in the past who continued to give their all until the very end of their contracts. Taremi is no exception, and despite his contract coming to an end, he has remained a dedicated and hard-working member of the team.
