QSL side Al Gharafa could potentially be facing an injury crisis ahead of their round 20 match against Al Arabi. Club officials confirmed that up to six players are in a race to be declared fit for the Thursday evening match which is set to take place at Al Arabi stadium.

The quartet of Lawrence Quaye, Krisztián Németh, Abdulghani Muneer and Moayad Hassan all missed the 0-0 draw with Al Wakrah last time out and will all face fitness tests to determine if they can be available for the Arabi tie.

Whilst both attackers Vladimir Weiss and Johnson Kendrick had to be substituted during the Al Wakrah match, and will also be facing a battle to be back in time for the Thursday evening game.

Al Gharafa officials also confirmed that the six players will be assessed right up until Wednesday evening training before a decision is made on their availability. Al Gharafa is currently in fifth place in the QSL standings with 31 points from 19 QSL games.
