Al-Qadsiya’s first-team head coach, Mohammed Ibrahim, affirmed that a victory over Tajik side Regar-Tadaz would bring the Yellow team closer to advancing to the next round of the third group in the AFC Challenge League, emphasizing the strength of their opponent, which includes seven professional players.
In a statement today, Ibrahim said the team has moved on from their encounter with Bangladesh’s Fortis, after defeating them 3-0 in the opening match, and there is no room to dwell on that fixture, given the focus on the upcoming match, in which Al-Qadsiya aims to secure a win and continue their campaign in the tournament.
He noted that the result of the match between Fortis and India’s Goa, played before Al-Qadsiya’s clash with Regar-Tadaz, would influence the group standings, clarifying that the Yellow team hopes for a draw, which would eliminate both teams from contention based on head-to-head results and group rankings.
Regarding injuries, Ibrahim explained that player Adhabi Shihab is in good technical condition but suffered an injury that will keep him out of the squad for four to six weeks, expressing his regret at losing his contributions in the coming period.
