The 30 year old player stated: “The game against Al Ahli is important as we’re only 2 points behind them, and beating them will bring us closer to the leaders, Al Hilal, so that we will have a chance at the title.”
The Chilean concluded: “The absence of a single player whether in our team or theirs isn’t that significant for me, even if it’s a player like Al Somah or Kahraba, who are both exceptional players. But both teams have strong benches and the managers will not sacrifice stability by employing drastic changes.”
