Al Duhail goalkeeper Shehab Al Laithi expressed his faith in the team players to settle the next game versus Al Markhiya. The player said in the pre-match press conference held yesterday in the Club’s press conference hall: We are ready for Al Markhiya and we are aware it won’t be easy. We are facing a team seeking their first win in the league however my teammates will be working hard to achieve victory.

Shehab added: Al Duhail is a big team that is characterised by competing for all titles. We always play for victory. Stumbling versus Al Gharafa will make us consider our mistakes and correct them in the coming games.

He concluded: We are still the champions and capable of winning despite the large number of missing players . The available players have the desire to overcome these difficulties.
