AZMOUN’S ALL DONE FOR IRAN

IRAN striker Sardar Azmoun has quit international football at the age of 23 after claiming the insults directed at him have impacted his ill mother.

The Rubin Kazan hitman (above) is his country’s fifth-highest scorer.

Nicknamed the “Iranian Messi”, he got 23 in 33 games for his nation before the World Cup. But didn’t score in Russia as Carlos Queiroz’s side finished third in Group B.
