Fit to play, not injured
Ghoddos is fit to play and not dealing with any injury, according to Vice President of Football Iran Federation Mehdi Mohammad Nabi, per Irna. "The team will be at full strength against Belgium. The only injured player is Roozbeh, who is currently recovering."
Analysis: Ghoddos's clean status is a significant boost for Iran given his importance as the team's primary set piece taker, and he will be fully available for the upcoming fixture against Belgium.
Two shots in draw
Ghoddos took two shots (off target), created one chance, made three interceptions, and won two tackles in Monday's 2-2 draw with New Zealand.
Analysis: Ghoddos played a direct role in Iran's first goal. In the 35th minute, his delivery from a set piece created the opportunity that led to Ramin Rezaeian's equalizer, helping Iran respond after falling behind to Elijah Just's early strike. His dead-ball quality and vision were among Iran's most dangerous attacking weapons during the evening. Up next, Iran faces Belgium on Sunday, June 21.
