Nadir Belhadj will return to the Al Sailiya fold when they take on Al Gharafa in a crucial fixture in Week 20 of the QNB Stars League at the Al Ahli Stadium on Friday, 9th March.

The Algerian was serving a suspension during their 1-2 loss to Al Khor in Week 19. His presence is sure to strengthen The Peregrines’ midfield.

Meanwhile, Al Sailiya will have the services of Hamad Al Obeidi and Mohammed Mdather against Al Gharafa as they have recovered from their injuries.

However, they will miss the services of Mustafa Abdulhafeez and Abdul Karim Salim Al Ali due to red-card suspension.

Tunisian Sami Trabelsi and his wards are keen to arrest their slump that saw them go out of the top four. They are now placed sixth with 25 points.

Al Sailiya Sports Club General Manager Mohammed Al Marri, while watching the team’s training session on Sunday evening, extended all support to the team members. He urged them to produce an excellent performance against Al Gharafa and repeat their positive results in the QNB Stars League’s first phase.
