Al Khor coach Omar Najhi spoke to the media ahead of their 2019-20 QNB Stars League Week 9 match against Al Gharafa.

“We will play to win. Victory will be a big push for Al Khor in the table and it will also boost morale of the players.

“In the previous match against Al Wakrah, we managed to end a series of negative results by holding them to a draw. We know Al Gharafa well, a strong team which includes professional players at the highest level. We have no choice in our game with them, but to win.

“The technical staff worked to prepare the team in order to provide a strong performance and show a good level in front of our own fans.

“Nayef Al Buraiki and Mohammed Al Jabri is returning after their participation in the world military championship in China,” said Najhi.
