QSL side El Jaish will be without striker Abdulgadir Ilyas for the remainder of the domestic season through injury. The club confirmed yesterday that Ilyas is set for a month on the sidelines after pulling his hamstring in his sides 2-1 defeat to Al Gharafa on Thursday evening.

The loss of Ilyas will be a major blow to El Jaish boss Sabri Lamouchi who has been relying on the services of the striker in recent weeks. Jaish will now be hoping that Ilyas will be fit enough for his side as they take part in the Emir Cup competition. El Jaish are currently in fourth place in the QSL standings with 45 points from 25 QSL games.
