Doha: Al Sadd midfielder Khalfan Ibrahim (pictured) has continued his rehabilitation from a knee complaint which caused the player to miss his sides 4-2 victory over Muaither. The Qatar international player underwent individual training on Sunday evening, as the Wolves ramp up their preparations for their fifth round clash against Al Gharafa.
It’s been a frustrating start to the season for Khalfan thus far, having only made one substitute appearance against Lekhwiya. Al Sadd management will be hoping that their midfielder can find full fitness soon and aid the Wolves in their push for the QSL title. Al Sadd currently sits atop of the QSL standings with ten points from four games.
On the other side, Al Sadd’s rivals, El Jaish has confirmed the return of striker Abdulgadir Ilyas back to the first team squad. The striker had been earlier loaned out to fellow QSL side Al Khor, however the two sides have come to a formal agreement and Ilyas has now been registered as a Jaish player.
In other team news, El Jaish returned to training on Sunday evening following their 1-1 draw with Al Rayyan in the fourth round of the QSL season. Sabri Lamouchi’s side will now begin to turn their attention to their fifth round match up against Umm Salal, who have yet to taste defeat so far this season.
