Striker Mohamed Muntari and goalkeeper Mohamed Bakri are back in Al Duhail after serving Al Ahli and Al Markhiya respectively on loan.

Muntari was loaned at the beginning of the season, while Bakri moved in the January transfer window.

Muntari was one of the main attackers of Al Ahli. His return should compensate for the absence of Tunisian attacking midfielder Youssef Msakni, who is having a long layoff due to cruciate ligament injury.

Bakri performed well for Al Markhiya despite their relegation to the Second Division and also for Qatar at the Asian Under-23 Championship in China, where they finished third early this year.

Al Duhail are preparing for their Emir’s Cup quarterfinal against Umm Salal on Thursday.
