Al Arabi will miss the services of Yemeni player Mudir Abdurabu when they face Umm Salal in the fourth round of QNB Stars League on Saturday, 1st September, at the Al Sadd Stadium. The kick-off is at 19:20.

Abdurabu, who suffered a muscle cramp during their 1-0 victory over Al Kharaitiyat in Week 3, is still undergoing rehabilitation.

Al Arabi will also miss Ahmed Al Nehawi, who was sent off with a second booking during their game against Al Kharaitiyat.

Croatian coach Luka Bonacic is focusing more on the technical side than physical and hopes to intensify training as the Umm Salal game approaches.

Al Arabi seek to build on their victories in the first and third rounds, over Al Khor and Al Kharaitiyat respectively, although they suffered a big 1-10 defeat at the hands of Al Sadd in Week 2.

The Dream Team are currently fourth in the QNB Stars League standings, behind Al Sailiya on goal difference. They both have six points.
