Iraq worried about losing many stars in the match against Vietnam at My Dinh

The Iraqi team has just announced the list of 25 players preparing for the match against Indonesia (home) on November 16 and against host Vietnam at My Dinh Stadium on November 21. Although still including the names of 10 players playing in Europe, the Gulf team still suffered heavy losses with many talents absent.

Midfielder Andre El Sanati is one of Iraq's regrettable absences.

According to the assessment of the Winwin website, Iraq coach Jesus Casas will have to make adjustments because some stars cannot participate in the matches against Indonesia and Vietnam. Of which, 5 absences make Iraqi public opinion worried about the strength of the home team.

First is young talent Zidane Iqbal. The 20-year-old midfielder received great trust from coach Casas when he was playing for Dutch club Utrecht. The absence of the star born in Manchester (England) and used to play for MU is considered Iraq's biggest loss in the next 2 matches.

According to Iraqi press, although Iqbal is eager to be called up and receives expectations from domestic fans, Mr. Casas does not want to call up a player who has not played regularly for the club recently.

Zidane Iqbal was left out of the Iraq squad for the matches against Indonesia and Vietnam.

The second pillar of the Iraqi team to be eliminated this time is Ahmed Farhan. The 24-year-old midfielder of Al-Shorta Club (Iraq) almost took a place in the squad but he could not participate at the last minute due to injury.

Hammoud Mishaan is considered the most surprising absentee. The 25-year-old defender was considered a strong candidate for a position in the Gulf team's defense but was left out for unclear reasons. The defender is in excellent form for Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya (Iraq).

The absence of goalkeeper Mohammed Hameed Farhan also attracted attention. The veteran player is in excellent form at Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya. However, coach Casas still prioritized calling up goalkeeper Ali Ebadi of Al Kahrabaa.

In addition, Andre El Sanati (born in Sweden), one of the most talented players expected to strengthen the Iraqi team, is also not on the list this time. The 23-year-old midfielder of Sirius Club (Sweden) has been called up by Coach Casas for recent matches, but is said to not be suitable for the Spanish strategist's tactics.
