Persianfootball.com – TEHRAN, Carlos Queiroz named two squads on Saturday – a 24-man roster for the initial training camp and a friendly match versus Oman in Muscat on May 22, and additional 12 men for the final training camp and the three World Cup qualfiers in June.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An initially planned second test match versus Iraq in the UAE five days later meanwhile was cancelled due to political interference by the UAE.<\/p>\n

The squad for the Oman game misses all legionnaires and the Esteghlal players, who are still busy with the AFC Champions League.<\/p>\n

Leftback Mehrdad Pouladi is doubtful after his recent calf injury.<\/p>\n

Ousted couple Mehdi Rahmati and Hadi Aghily were not called-up, despite rumours saying otherwise. Also the recently retired Ali Karimi, injured Fulham winger Ashkan Dejagah and just recently recovered\u00a0Naft Tehran winger Yaghoub Karimi are missing.<\/p>\n

Sepahan playmaker Navidkia, who had announced his willingness for a comeback in Team Melli, is injured as well.<\/p>\n

In comparison to the most recent list for the Asian Cup qualifier against Kuwait in March, Rubin Kazan goalkeeper Alireza Haghighi, still injured Sweden-based William Atashkadeh and the IPL topscorer of this season, Jalal Rafkhaei of Malavan Anzali, were dropped, beside the injured Dejagah and Yaghoub Karimi.<\/p>\n
