Jermaine Jenas has slammed the decision of the Iranian physios to leave goalkeeper Alireza Beyranvand on the field after a sickening clash of heads in the opening exchanges of their World Cup match against England.
In the eighth minute of the Group B opener, Beyranvand was at full stretch as he looked to intercept a cross from England captain Harry Kane, but ended up colliding with defender Majid Hosseini.
Both players went down immediately, with Beyranvand left sprawled out on the turf and receiving 11 minutes of medical treatment from the team's physios as the match was halted.
