Key defender Mohammed Kasola is back with his team mates as Al-Sadd football first team trained on Wednesday evening after receiving a day off following their 2-4 defeat to El-Jaish in Round 13 of the Qatar Stars League (QSL).
 
The team is now preparing for the match against Mesaimeer in Round 14 of the QSL, which will take place on Sunday, the 20th of December at the Hamad bin Khalifa Stadium of Al-Ahli Club.
 
The session on Wednesday saw the absence of five players (Muhannad Naim, Abdulkarim Hassan, Saleh Bader, Ali Asad and Musab Khodr) who are away with the Qatar Olympic team as it holds its final preparations for the U23 Asian Cup set to take place in Qatar in January.
 
Kasola, who trained on Wednesday, has recovered from an illness which kept him away from the last QSL match against El Jaish on Monday.
 
The coaching staff used the session to focus on technical training alongside a physical conditioning programme, club officials said on Thursday.
 
The reserve team players had light training after playing the QatarGas League game against Al-Sailiya on Tuesday at Al-Wakrah Club.
 
Al Sadd are behind Al Rayyan, El Jaish and Lekhwiya in the QSL points race.
