Al Khor head coach Jean Fernandez said that coming match versus Al Arabi in Round 23 of the QSL is very important and they must gain the three points.

Commenting on the league break after this Round, he reflected, “This stoppage has two sides which could hold positive or negative impact on the team. For example, the lack of matches is negative matter, however the hard work during training sessions is yet another positive point.”
