After the World Cup opener against New Zealand (2–2) in Los Angeles, the entire Iranian national team squad had to leave the United States for their national team base in Mexico.

When Iran meet Belgium on Sunday, the players will travel back to Los Angeles, but at the moment it does not appear to apply to Torabi, IRNA writes.

Unlike the rest of the national team, he is reported not to have received a multiple-entry visa.

Iran's federation president Mehdi Taj is said to be in contact with FIFA president Gianni Infantino to "solve the problems," IRNA claims, without specifying which problems.

Neither the United States nor FIFA has wanted to comment on the information, AFP reports.
