Al Arabi started preparations for their QNB Stars League Week 7 game against Al Sailiya, scheduled for 29th September.

The players, including injured Colombian striker Franco Hurtado, went through their paces under the watchful eyes of Croatian coach Luka Bonacic.

Franco was thought to be out of action initially for around a month with a muscle injury, but may recover sooner than expected.

Al Arabi are keen on sustaining the momentum. The Dream Team jumped from fifth to fourth position following their 3-0 victory over Al Shahania in Week 6.

They have the same number of points (12) as Al Sailiya, but are behind on goal difference.
