29 July 2020

The Al-Sadd first team continued training on Wednesday at the club’s training centre, in preparation for the upcoming QNB Stars League Round 19 clash against Al-Ahli, which is scheduled to be played on Monday, August 3 at Al-Janoub Stadium.

Wednesday’s session saw the return of head coach Xavi Hernandez, after his recovery from COVID-19, which he had contracted around 14 days ago.

Everyone at the training centre welcomed back the coach, as he takes charge again, ahead of some difficult challenges in the upcoming weeks. New arrival Rodrigo Tabata was also warmly welcomed for his first training session, after signing a one-season deal with the club.

Tabata underwent special training with the supervision of the fitness coach, in order to prepare himself to join group training.
