Porto may be without Mehdi Taremi for their Champions League match against Arsenal on Wednesday, with the club confirming that the player is struggling with a muscle injury in his right thigh. The 31-year-old Iranian has been a huge hit at Porto since joining in 2020, scoring 86 goals in 172 appearances in all competitions. Mehdi Taremi has not had a great season so far, scoring just three goals in the top flight in Portugal and three more in other competitions. He has not scored a goal for Porto since December 23, but has been away on international duty with Iran in the Asian Cup. The player has featured in Porto's last two games and will hope to play against Arsenal, but the club confirmed that he suffered the muscle injury during training on Sunday and is undergoing treatment. In addition to Mehdi Taremi, Gonçalo Ribeiro, Marcano, and Zaidu are also undergoing treatment ahead of the meeting with the Premier League side. Manager Sergio Conceicao, who played for Inter Milan himself, said that Mehdi Taremi is a great professional and that the club respects him. Mehdi Taremi is into the last six months of his contract and is expected to leave Porto at the end of the season to join Inter Milan.
