Al-Sadd resume training after a break, begin preparations for Al-Wakrah

The Al-Sadd first team resumed training at the club’s secondary pitch on Sunday after a five-day break which followed the big 5-1 win over Al-Gharafa in Week 11 of the QNB Stars League.

The team is now preparing for the upcoming Week 12 game against Al-Wakrah, which is scheduled to be played at the Saoud bin Abdulrahman Stadium on January 2.

Al-Sadd are training without Tarek Salman, Meshaal Barsham and Hashim Ali, who are away with the Qatar U-23 national team ahead of their participation in the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship in Thailand.

Head coach Xavi Hernandez and his staff are working on preparing the players well for the upcoming phase of matches, which will see numerous challenges both at home and in Asia.

On Sunday, the coaching staff focused on physical training, with the players having just returned from the break. Later, the team moved on to training with the ball, with technical and tactical drills.
