However, the club extended the Iranian player&#8217;s expiring contract. He is currently recovering in Lisbon\u2014the very city where his team is set to play against Benfica in the Europa League.<\/p>\n<p>The fan favorite is currently based in Portugal, where he is undergoing rehabilitation under the supervision of a specialist. On Thursday, he will join the rest of the squad at the Est\u00e1dio da Luz, alongside approximately 2,300 fans who traveled from Poland.<\/p>\n<p>In Lisbon, manager Niels Frederiksen has opted not to include Gholizadeh, Wojciech Mo\u0144ka, Alex Douglas, Allahyar Sayyadmanesh, or Mikael Ishak in the squad\u2014the same approach he took for last weekend\u2019s match against Wis\u0142a Krak\u00f3w (a 3\u20131 victory). The manager stated: &#8220;We are fighting for three points.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Sayyadmanesh\u2014a compatriot recommended by Gholizadeh\u2014has done an excellent job filling the role of the key attacking player. On Thursday, in the absence of the latter, the likes of Patrik Walemark, Leo Bengtsson, Yannick Agnero, and Luis Palma will be tasked with shaping the final result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gol24.pl &#8211; POZNAN, Ali Gholizadeh is currently in the midst of his rehabilitation program and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26307,"featured_media":55572,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84,212,93],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c47-featured-news","category-iranian-legionnaires","category-c22-players-spotlight"],"views":83,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26307"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55569"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55569\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55571,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55569\/revisions\/55571"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55572"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
