 Tehran-born Germany-based striker Ashkan Dejagah has once again been named in a Carlos Queiroz squad, after the Portuguese announced a 37-man preliminary squad ahead of matches against Jordan and Qatar. Iran take on Jordan in a friendly in Dubai on February 23, before meeting Qatar six days later in their final third round World Cup qualifier group game, having already secured their progress to the next stage. Queiroz has named an extensive list for the games, although the squad will be shortened to 27 players after this weekend's Iranian Pro League matches. Only domestic-based players will be included to face Jordan, while foreign-based players, such as Javad Nekounam and Dejagah, will link up with the team three days prior to the Qatar clash. Esteghlal midfielders Andranik Teymourian and Mojtaba Jabbari are both not included in the squad due to injury along with Masoud Shojaei and Reza Ghoochannejhad. It has been reported in Iran former Germany youth international Dejagah, who remains uncapped for Team Melli, will finally link up with Queiroz's side after much speculation in the past. Full squad as follows: Goalkeepers: Mehdi Rahmati (Esteghlal), Alireza Haghighi (Rubin Kazan), Sosha Makani (Naft Tehran), Mohsen Forouzan (Traktor Sazi), Mohammad-Bagher Sadeghi (Zob Ahan) Defenders: Hadi Aghily (Al Arabi), Jalal Hosseini (Sepahan), Mohsen Bengar (Sepahan), Pejman Montazeri (Esteghlal), Alireza Noormohammadi (Persepolis), Shoja Khalilzadeh (Mes Kerman), Khosro Heydari (Esteghlal), Ali Hamoudi (Esteghlal), Hossein Mahini (Zob Ahan), Ehsan Hajisafi (Tractor Sazi), Mehrdad Pouladi (Persepolis) Midfielders: Javad Nekounam (Osasuna), Pejman Nouri (Emirates), Maziar Zare (Persepolis), Ghasem Hadadifar (Traktor Sazi), Reza Haghighi (Fajr Sepasi), Ali Karimi (Persepolis), Mohammad Nouri (Persepolis), Ferydoon Zandi (Esteghlal), Mohsen Mosalman (Malavan), Mohammad-Reza Khalatbari (Al Wasl), Gholamreza Rezaei (Persepolis), Mohammad Ebrahimi (Traktor Sazi), Amir-Hossein Feshangchi (Persepolis) Strikers: Karim Ansarifard (Saipa), Ashkan Dejagah (Wolfsburg), Mehdi Rajabzadeh (Fajr Sepasi), Mohammad Ghazi (Zob Ahan), Reza Norouzi (Foolad), Arash Borhani (Esteghlal), Mohammad Gholami (Damash Gilan), Mehdi Seyed-Salehi (Sepahan) |

and behind them ali karimi
after ali daei, there is no tall Iranian striker that is good in air
sayed salehi is one of the top players for such a position
I wished perspolis could bring gholami in to the squad insted of Noroozi or rezaei
rahmati is not number goali in Iran, never was
I like perspolis but inviting players such as zare or rezaei or even feshangchi, he is way far from his pick.
Well I hope to see this combo at least in one friendly Mach
