Umm Salal continued their training sessions in preparations for their much anticipated game versus Lekhwiya this Thursday evening in Round 8 of the Qatar Stars League.<br />
<br />
Umm Salal is looking for a positive result after their goalless draw versus Al Gharafa in Round 7 and perhaps this is the best time to play Lekhwiya whose form has dipped significantly in recent rounds.<br />
<br />
Umm Salal is in the 5th position with 12 points and Lekhwiya are currently in 8^th with just 10 points.<br />
<br />
Umm Salal will have their key training session this evening, where the technical staff will determine the readiness of all players for the starting line-up.  <br />
<br />
In addition Umm Salal player Nasser Khalfan will continue to miss out due to injury. Also it is not yet confirmed whether Thamer Jamal will play or not due to a light injury.<br />
<br />
Umm Salal will hold a closed training camp as part of the preparations for the Lekhwiya clash, after which the players will be granted 3-days rest, followed by training more sessions and two friendly games in the two week QSL break.
