Hull City Forward Allahyar Sayyadmanesh is now part of the Iran squad for their final World Cup qualifiers.
Allahyar is recalled after the absence of 5 players including the talismanic forward Mehdi Taremi.
The Persian Leopards have already secured qualification to this year’s finals in Qatar – and became the first Asian country to do so in January.
Top of third-round qualifying Group A with 22 points from a possible 24, Iran has two group games remaining, starting with an away match in South Korea on Thursday 24th March.
Their qualification campaign concludes with a home game against Lebanon on Tuesday 29th March.
Fenerbahce loanee Sayyadmanesh became his country’s youngest-ever goalscorer when he netted on his Iran debut in a 5-0 friendly victory over Syria in June 2019, aged 17.
