Al Duhail announced the absence of Iraqi striker Mohanad Ali for three weeks because of the injury he suffered during their QNB Stars League Week 3 match against Al Rayyan, which ended in a 1-1 draw on Sunday.

The player underwent medical tests, which confirmed a muscle injury on his left foot.

Mohanad, who missed the second half of the match against Al Rayyan, will undergo an intensive treatment programme in the coming days.

The 2019-20 season QNB Stars League’s Week 4 matches will start from tomorrow.

The fixtures are Al Arabi vs Al Shahania (16:50, Al Janoub Stadium) and Al Gharafa vs Al Ahli (19:00, Al Sadd Stadium) tomorrow, Al Sadd vs Umm Salal (16:50, Al Janoub Stadium) and Al Sailiya vs Qatar SC (19:00, Al Sadd Stadium) on Friday, and Al Rayyan vs Al Khor (16:50, Al Janoub Stadium) and Al Wakrah vs Al Duhail (19:00, Al Sadd Stadium) on Saturday.

The game between in-form teams Al Gharafa and Al Ahli will be the highlight of fixtures.

Al Gharafa are second in the standings and Al Ahli fourth. They both had won in the last round and sparks are expected to fly when they face off.
