Abdelkarim Hassan returns to Al-Sadd squad ahead of Al-Wakrah clash

Al-Sadd head coach Xavi Hernandez announced the matchday squad for the upcoming QNB Stars League clash against Al-Wakrah, which will be played on Thursday at the Saoud bin Abdulrahman Stadium.

Abdelkarim Hassan returned to the squad after missing the last game due to his sending off in the FIFA Club World Cup 2019 game clash with Esperance.

The trio of Tarek Salman, Meshaal Barsham and Hashim Ali are not available for selection as they are away with the Qatar U-23 national team for the AFC U-23 Championship in Thailand, which serve as a quailifer for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The full squad is as follows: Saad Al-Dosari, Youssef Abdullah, Pedro Miguel, Hamed Ismail, Khoukhi Boualem, Jung Woo-young, Salem Al-Hajri, Gabi, Ali Asad, Akram Afif, Baghdad Bounedjah, Nam Tae-hee, Hassan Al-Haydos, Rami Suhail, Mustafa Tariq, Abdulkarim Hassan, Hussein Behzad, Abdulaziz Al-Ansari

At the end of Wednesday’s final training session, the squad left for an overnight camp at the Torch hotel, from where they will depart for the stadium tomorrow.
