During Friday’s session, the coaching staff worked on implementing certain special moves, before holding a practice mini-game between the players in the middle of the pitch.

The main training session also witnessed the participation of the returning international players, after the end of their national team duties during the last break in the month of October.
Al-Sadd will hold their final training session from half past five in the evening on Saturday, at the end of which the coach will announce the list of players for the game, ahead of leaving for the closed overnight camp.
