Iran’s legendary keeper hospitalized

MNA - Former Iran football goalkeeper Nasser Hejazi has been hospitalized due to lung disease.
Hejazi has gone to Tehran’s Kasra Hospital for treatment. Atila, his son, hit out at rumors that his father has lung cancer.

“We are waiting for test results. Nothing is clear at the moment,” he said.
