Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Qatar SC manager Hélio Sousa to be concerned about due to a largely intact set of players. Omar Al-Emadi (unknown injury) will miss out.

📋 Team News: Al-Duhail

Thanks to a largely available squad, there is just the one fitness issue for the Al-Duhail boss Christophe Galtier to contend with. Mohammed Muntari (Ankle ligament tear) won’t be in action. The players ineligible for this match because of suspension are Mohammed Musa and Almoez Ali.
