Mojtaba Jabbari picked up an injury before facing with Qatar in the second match of Iran from World Cup Qualifier games. Because of this injury he decided to leave Iran’s camp.
Some sources announced Jabbari had picked up a long time injury and he will miss the matches of Iran and Esteghlal for the next 3 or 4 months. But he rejected those rumors. “I had some problems after playing against Uzbekistan. But its not a serious one. Doctor Nowruzi has performed some exams on my knee.” Mojtaba Jabbari said. Some experts criticized him over leaving Iran’s camp but he said: “Iran will only face with Qatar in this week and I cannot join the team for this match. So it was normal to leave the camp while I cannot help Iran.” He added.
Its noteworthy that injury kept him out of Team Melli for 2007, but came back to the team in January 2008 for the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign.
