Al Gharafa coach Slavisa Jokanovic spoke to the media ahead of their QNB Stars League Week 3 match against Qatar SC.

“We’ve prepared the players who were present during the international break. Facing Qatar SC will be difficult because they’re an organised team although they haven’t yet collected any points.

“Two rounds in the league can’t give you a right picture of the teams. What concerns me is my team and how to prepare it for the competitions. I’m happy with what the team has done so far.

“We’ll sorely miss injured player Ilyas Ahmed. It’s a setback for the team. I hope he comes back soon in the best shape. We’re looking to find a right replacement for him.

“We’re all set for this game and our target is to continue good performances and achieve best results,” said Jokanovic.
