Asbaghi said: "It’s all about surviving right now, it’s all about trying to collect as many points as we can at a really crucial time.
"I honestly don’t think discussions right now, from me or anybody else, should be about whether I’m staying her after the season or not.
"Lets do what we can do during this season and in the games we have left. Let’s talk again when the season is over and you will get a good description of how everything is.

Speaking earlier this week, El-Ahmad said: “There is a clause but the situation is under review. It will be mutual.
"The decision will be made so that when pre-season starts everything will be in place.”
