QSL side El Jaish has begun preparations ahead of their round 22 match of the week against Al Arabi.  Sabri Lamouchi’s side will be looking to get back to winning ways following their 1-1 draw with bottom side Meisameer.

In team news, Jaish will be boosted with the return of defender Ali Sanad into the squad after serving his one game suspension for picking up four yellow cards against Meisameer.

The club is also sweating on the fitness of influential midfielder Magid Mohammed. The Qatari international has been absent from the side since picking up a knock against Al Ain in their first AFC Champions League match. El Jaish’s medical team will assess the fitness of Magid closer towards the Arabi tie.

El Jaish are currently in second place in the QSL, with a tally of 40 points.
