Al Gharafa coach Christian Gourcuff is readying his players for their QNB Stars League Week 4 game against Al Ahli, to be played at the Khalifa International Stadium, on Friday, 31st August, from 19:20.

Frenchman Gourcuff is keeping his players motivated as The Cheetahs have bounced back from their 1-3 defeat to Qatar SC in the opening week by beating Al Sailiya 2-1 and then holding formidable Al Sadd to a 1-1 draw.

Meanwhile, Muad Hassan and Thamer Gamal attended the team training sessions after recovering from their injuries. Muad Yahia, who was nursing an ankle injury, is also expected to be ready soon.

Tamim Al Muhaza and Ilyas Ahmed are also recuperating from injuries, the former straining his thigh muscle and the latter recovering from a surgery.
