Umm Salal announced that three of their players — Bilal Mohammed, Mohammed Al Sayed and Adel Alawi — would play in their QNB Stars League Week 2 game against Al Rayyan at the Al Sadd Stadium on Friday, 10th August.

The trio had missed their 1-2 loss to Umm Salal in Week 1 of the QNB Stars League due to injuries, but they are now back in training.

However, Umm Salal will miss Nigerian striker Christian Osaguona for two to three weeks after he suffered a ligament injury during the Al Sailiya match. He is to undergo an intensive treatment and rehabilitation programme.

Meanwhile, The Orange Fortress’ French coach Laurent Banide is busy rectifying the mistakes they committed against Al Sailiya and also getting the players focused ahead of the Al Rayyan fixture.
