Al Sadd will miss Algerian attacking midfielder Jugurtha Hamroun due to suspension for their QNB Stars League Week 15 away match against Qatar SC on Saturday.
Hamroun had picked up a fourth yellow card during their Week 14 game against Al Gharafa, which they won 4-0. He will be eligible to play against Al Rayyan in the Qatar Clasico on 8th February.
Hamroun has been in outstanding form, having scored a brace each in back-to-back matches against Al Sailiya and Al Gharafa. He has time and again proved to be a versatile player.
Al Sadd started their preparations for the Qatar SC match on Sunday. The Wolves had won 3-1 in the first phase.
Al Sadd have 34 points, two behind leaders Al Duhail and as many more than third-placed Al Rayyan.
