QNB Stars League third-placed team Al Rayyan are gearing up for their AFC Champions League Group D away match against Al Ain on Tuesday. The game will kick off at the Hazza bin Zayed Stadium in Al Ain at 18:10 Doha time.

The Al Rayyan squad arrived in Al Ain on Sunday evening and straightaway trained under Danish coach Michael Laudrup. The players went through their paces on Monday evening too.

Al Rayyan would be keen to win after drawing their opening-round game against Iran’s Esteghlal 2-2 at home.

The squad, headed by Al Rayyan Football Head Ali Salem Afifa, included 20 players as well as team officials Omar Al Azani and Khaled Othman.

Playmaker Rodrigo Tabata will be missing in action as he is serving suspension following his send-off during the match against Esteghlal.

Al Hilal are the other side in the group.
