Al-Sadd begin training at Bad Haring

The Al-Sadd football first team held their first training session at Bad Haring, Austria on Thursday, after arriving in the town earlier in the day for the 2018-19 pre-season training camp.

The session began at 5:30 PM local time and saw the players work spiritedly on their physical fitness, to prepare themselves for the new season. Al-Sadd’s new signings Gabi Fernandez and Jung Woo-young made their first appearances at training, while club captain Xavi and Algerian striker Baghdad Bounedjah were also present.

Fitness coach Jose Pedro worked with the players to ensure recovery from jetlag and prevent its effects on their muscles. The players then moved on to movement exercises and one-touch passing practice.

According to the training schedule, the team is set to intensify training starting from Friday, when they will work across two sessions per day.
