It is a fair game for us; we have players joining the national team and the Olympic team yet I think we both are capable to fill in the gaps.”


When asked if he will let Omar Abdulrahman participate in their upcoming Etisalat Cup encounter the Romanian boss said: “Omar needs to gradually play his part on the pitch before he is completely fit, the same goes for Yasser Al Qahtani who recently recovered from injury.”
