Iran goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand head injury Taken off on stretcher after colliding with defender

Iran goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand suffered a head injury after clashing with a team-mate during the first-half of his nation’s game against England.

Despite being seen by medical staff, he played on but went down on the turf shortly after and had to be replaced by backup goalkeeper Hossein Hosseini.

Iran goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand was substituted early on in their World Cup Group B opener against England on Monday after suffering a head injury.

Beiranvand collided horribly with his team mate Hosseini Majid as he tried to deal with a cross and spent several minutes stricken on the turf having treatment.

The 30-year-old eventually was surprisingly allowed to continue with blood seeping from his nose but clearly was in no condition to take any further part in the game.
