Inter Milan will open their Club World Cup campaign on June 17 against Mexico's Monterrey in Group E, which also includes Argentina's River Plate and Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds.
Informed Italian reports indicate that Iranian Mehdi Taremi, Inter Milan's star player, is at risk of missing the Club World Cup along with his team due to the military escalation between Israel and Iran.
French radio station Monte Carlo reported that Israeli attacks on Iran prevented Iranian striker Mehdi Taremi from arriving in Los Angeles to join his team's delegation for the Club World Cup.
Taremi was planning to board a flight from Tehran to California to join Inter Milan, but the plane was not scheduled for departure due to security reasons.
Due to Iran's closure of its airspace until further notice, Taremi was unable to leave the country.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter Milan is in constant contact with its striker to ensure his safety and is seeking a quick solution for his arrival in Los Angeles.
Taremi had a disappointing first season with Inter after joining from Porto in the summer of 2024, scoring just 3 goals in 43 matches.
