QSL side Al Sadd has begun preparations ahead of their round 19 match against Al Shahania on Thursday evening.

The club confirmed that Algerian winger Jugurtha Hamroun missed the first training session ahead of the game with an ankle complaint, and could be a doubt for the match. In other news, Al Sadd welcomed back the injured trio of Hassan Haydoos, Khalfan Ibrahim and Morteza Pouraliganji to training.

All three players will now look to get back into head coach Jesaldo Ferriera’s plans ahead of the match against a struggling Al Shahania side. Al Sadd is currently in second place in the QSL standings, just three points behind current league leaders Lekhwiya.
