Al-Haydos nears return; Xavi to return after Umm Salal match
20 Dec 2015
​Al-Sadd attacker Hassan al-Haydos is set to return to the first team after the end of the rest given to the team following the 5-1 win over Mesaimeer in Round 14 of the QSL.

Al-Haydos had been out with an injury to his ankle, which he sustained in the match against El Jaish in Round 13. He will return to training as his condition has improved, enabling him to participate in the Round 15 match against Umm Salal on January 3rd.

Meanwhile, the chances of Spanish star Xavi Hernandez playing in the Umm Salal match are low as he has not yet reached the fitness level permitting him to take part in training in the next period. Xavi too had injured himself in the same match against El Jaish.
