QSL side Umm Salal have been handed a major injury boost ahead of their fourth tie against Al Sailiya. The club welcomed back long term absentee Mohammad Al-Malki back to training after suffering a cruciate ligament injury last season.

The return of Al-Malki will be a big boost for head coach Bülent Uygun, as the midfielder has been seen as a key player in the Umm Salal squad. It is likely that Al-Malki will be slowly introduced into squad training following his rehab.

In other news, the Umm Salal squad continued their preparations ahead of their Friday evening match against Al Sailiya. The Orange Fortress has yet to be defeated in the QSL this term and will be looking to continue their good run of form.
