DOHA: With coach Daniel Carreno heading the proceedings, Qatar football players hit the training pitch on Wednesday ahead of their 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying game against Bhutan on Thursday. With just hours to go before the Group C qualifying game at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium, Qatar players underwent intense fitness drills before taking part in practice sessions.. Wednesday's training session was the fourth day of drills after Qatar thrashed Singapore 4-0 at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium. Qatar squad, being coached by Carreno since May this year, spent two weeks in Europe where they trained in Switzerland and Austria. Qatar scraped past Maldives 1-0 with a late goal in June to register their first win in their 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign. Soon after playing their game at air-conditioned Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium on September 4, Carreno-coached Qatar will fly out to Hong Kong for their third qualifying game at Mongkok Stadium on September 8. Exactly a month later, Qatar will prepare to host China for their third 2018 World Cup qualifier at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium on October 8.
