Al-Sadd coach Bruno Miguel has excluded Matheus Uribe and Hassan Al-Haydos from the team’s lineup in preparation for the upcoming match against Muaither in the seventh week of the Stars League, due to injury and lack of fitness. The game is scheduled to be played on Saturday evening at the Hamad bin Khalifa Stadium.
Meanwhile, Akram Afif makes a return to the squad after missing the match against Al-Faisaly in the AFC Champions League due to suspension.
Bruno announced the list of players who will participate in the match, consisting of 23 players: Mishaal Barsham, Yousuf Al-Boloushi, Jihad Mohammed, Amin Hazbawi, Ahmed Suhail, Khoukhi Boualem, Tarek Salman, Paulo Otavio, Musaab Khidir, Hashem Ali, Ahmed Al-Saeed, Ahmed Siyar, Guilherme Torres, Ali Asad, Yousuf Abdurisag, Akram Afif, Baghdad Bounedjah, Ilyes Housni, Mohammed Waad, Gonzalo Plata, Mustafa Tarek Mishaal, Abdullah Al-Yazidi, and Anas Abdulsalam.
During the final training session, the coaching staff focused on reducing the training load and engaging in some light skill exercises, with variations between individual and group activities. After the training, the players entered a closed camp at Al-Messila Hotel, where they will stay overnight before heading to the match venue.
Al-Sadd enters the match in the second position in the standings with 13 points, with a postponed match from the sixth week against Al-Arabi yet to be played.
