QSL side Al Sailiya is set to welcome back influential defender Mostafa Abdulhafidh ahead of their match against Umm Salal on Friday evening.

The club confirmed yesterday that the Egyptian born defender will be available for selection after serving a domestic ban during his sides 4-0 defeat to Al Rayyan last time out. The return to Abdulhafidh will be a major boost to head Coach Sami Trabelsi, who has been lacking defensive options as of late.

The tie against Umm Salal could also see the debut of Uzbekistan professional Temurkhuja Abdukholiqov who joined from Lokomotiv Tashkent on an eighteen month deal earlier in the week.
