Iran's goalkeeper, Alireza Beiranvand, experienced a terrible incident when his team met England in the first match of Group B of the 2022 World Cup, Monday, November 21 evening WIB. This condition made the coach, Carlos Queiroz, worried.
In the match which took place at the Khalifa International Stadium, Alireza was forced to be pulled out when the game was running for 20 minutes. He collapsed in front of the bar with a bloody nose.
The condition was caused by a collision with his own partner, Majid Hosseini, while trying to block Harry Kane's ball. Queiroz said Alireza had a broken nose, but there was a chance it was worse than that.
Queiroz was worried that the player would suffer a concussion. This is due to bleeding in the nose which continues to occur after the incident.
According to me and the referee's medical information, they can't stop the player's bleeding. It has something to do with his broken nose," Queiroz said after the match, quoted from the UK Daily on Tuesday, November 22.
When the incident occurred, Alireza was not immediately pulled out and replaced by another goalkeeper. Instead, he was on the pitch for less than ten minutes for emergency treatment.
Even though this situation should receive serious medical treatment.
"When he returned to play, the bleeding stopped so we thought he could continue. But we have some indications that he may have a concussion. He has a severe concussion and is currently on his way to the hospital for further examination," said the coach.
"When there is a delay (it attracts it out). It raises doubts between a broken nose and a concussion," he continued anxiously.
As is known, medical staff spent more than 10 minutes examining Beiriranvand after the incident. The goalkeeper looked in pain but wanted to stay on the pitch.
After about a minute of survival, he finally gave up. He then signaled to the bench and asked to be replaced immediately.
