Jahanbakhsh has missed six games with a hamstring injury and Izquierdo has been out for two matches with a knee problem.

"We're probably still at the stage that whatever period of time we have got Alireza for before he goes away for the Asian Cup, we will do everything right.

"But he is very close."
