QSL side Al Arabi returned to training on Wednesday evening, as Gianfrano Zola’s side begin to ramp up their preparations for their round 24 clash with rivals Umm Salal.

The side had been given four days rest after their 3-1 defeat to local rivals Al Ahli in the derby. The squad returned with light training drills under the watchful eye of Gianfranco Zola.
One noticeable absence from the side was Captain Boualem Khoukhi who is currently away with the Qatar national team, who are taking on Hong Kong and China in World Cup Qualification matches.

Arabi will be looking to reignite their faint chances of a top 4 finish with a big victory over rivals Umm Salal, who they play on Saturday the 2^nd of April at Al Arabi stadium, KO 18:15.
