Tonight, at 2:00 AM Italian time, the Club World Cup kicks off with the opening match between Al-Ahly and Inter Miami. The Italian clubs participating in the tournament, which for the first time has 32 teams, are Inter and Juventus. There is a setback involving one of the Nerazzurri players: the Iranian striker Mehdi Taremi was unable to leave for the United States, following Israel's attack on Iran and Tehran's response . And for this reason, he will not be available to Cristian Chivu.

The striker had regularly shown up at the Tehran airport, after taking part in the commitments of his national team, but the flight was cancelled for security reasons after the closure of the civil airport and the country's airspace . For this reason, he was unable to join the group that has been training in California for a few days (the debut in Los Angeles against Monterrey is on Tuesday night).

Inter are in constant contact with Taremi, who is safe. But the very delicate situation means that his transfer to the United States will not be forced .
