Al Ahli has confirmed that three key players are in contention to play ahead of their round 22 clash against El Jaish which will be played at Lekhwiya Stadium on Saturday evening.
The club revealed that Meshal Mubarak, Younes Ali and club captain Meshal Abdullah have all recovered from their respective injuries ahead of the game. The news will be a major boost for Brigadeers coach Yusef Adam, who has seen his side struggle in recent weeks.
Al Ahli are currently in seventh place in the Qatar Stars League (QSL) standings, and have yet to pick up a win in the last three games.
Meanwhile, Muaither SC announced that their star defender Bruno Aguiar will make a comeback  ahead of their round 22 clash against Umm Salal on Thursday evening.
The Brazilian defender sat out of his sides 5-0 defeat at the hands of Al Rayyan, serving his one match domestic ban after picking up his fourth booking of the season against Al Khor in round 20. The return of central defender Aguiar will be a major boost for Stallions boss Phillipe Birol, as the Brazilian defender is considered a key player for the relegation threatened side.
In other team news, Muaither confirmed that three players will be unavailable for the game against Umm Salal after picking up injuries in the defeat to Al Rayyan. The trio of Mohammed Attiyah, Hussain Shehab and Mohammed  Al Zowayed will all miss the game.
