Kings, which reached Sharjah on Saturday, will face Sharjah Football Club in the single-leg qualifying play-offs (preliminary round) of the AFC Champions League.

Kings’ head coach Oscar Bruzon was also worried about the extreme weather but he was hopeful that the players would adjust to the new conditions ‘well and fast’.

While asked about the preparation, the Spaniard replied, “All are good here. We have doubts regarding some players’ small injuries but we are trying to recover them.”

According to the match schedule, the game will start at local time 07:35pm (BST 09:35pm), reports Daily Sun.

Meanwhile, Kings goalkeeper Anisur Rahman Zico feared that the extremely hot weather could have an impact on their performances during the game.

“The weather may have an impact because we will have only two training sessions here. It will be tough for us to adjust quickly. Hot weather, it is really a problem,” Zico said.
