Tehran Times - Malian forward Modibo Maïga will not be joining Persepolis after he failed the mandatory medical exam.
The 31-year-old forward, who has most recently played at Buriram United of Thailand, arrived in Tehran early Thursday to undergo a medical.
But he failed to pass the medical since the MRI confirmed that he broke his ankle in the past.
