Talal Al Bloushi will be missing for Al Sadd in their round 19 match against Al Khor on Friday (kick-off 4:45 PM at Al Khor Stadium).
 
The midfielder suffered a muscle injury in Sadd’s AFC Champions League qualifying defeat to Al Jazira and missed last weekend’s match against Qatar Sports Club.
 
Defender Pedro Miguel will also miss the game against Khor after picking up a fourth booking of the season against the Kings. Another man out is midfielder Hamad Mansor, who sustained a bruised knee in a Qatar Gas League fixture against Al Arabi.
 
On a more positive note, Qatari defender Mohammed Kasola has recovered from injury and is available for selection.
 
Sadd go into the match in fifth place after last week’s disappointing 1-0 defeat to Qatar Sports Club. Khor, on the other hand, are currently ninth but have suffered just one loss in their last six games.
