Al Rayyan’s Uruguayan defender Gonzalo Viera will be out of action for almost two weeks as he is nursing a muscle injury he sustained during their 2-1 victory over Al Kharaitiyat in Week 4 of the QNB Stars League on 1st September.

Viera is expected to take the field when Al Rayyan travel to Al Arabi in a Week 5 action on 14th September.

However, he will miss their Round 1 game in the QSL Cup against Al Ahli on 8th September.

Viera, a towering presence in the Al Rayyan defence, is also good at attacking.
