Zlatko: Our choices limited by injuries and suspensions

Zlatko Dalić, Al Ain's manager, has pointed out additional difficulties his team have to face in their game against Emirates in round 15 of UAE Arabian Gulf League on Thursday, as a number of his players are either suspended or injured.

"We do not have many choices due to injuries and suspensions that force us to play several games within a tight schedule," said the Croatian coach at the press conference.

"We will miss a number of our regular players against Emirates. Our aim is to return from RAK with the three points regardless of our circumstances."

"The team who want to compete for the title have to overcome all circumstances, and we are aware that our mission against Emirates won't be easy."

"In our game against Emirates, we will miss Mohammad Fayez, Fawzi Fayez, Saed Musabah and Mohammad Ahmed. They are expected to have returned by the end of the season."
