The Reds are scheduled to meet their arch-rivals on Sunday in Tehran’s Azadi Stadium.

Hosseini was forced to leave the training for lower abdominal pain on Friday.

He should undergo an endoscopy to determine whether he is fit for the match or not. 

Esteghlal striker Cheick Tidiane Diabaté also is absent due to rib injury.
