However, Eichab also expressed confidence in his team\u2019s readiness for the weekend challenges. \u201cWe have a full squad with no injury concerns, and a weekend off has given us an advantage against the two struggling teams. Nevertheless, the match against Julinho won\u2019t be a walk in the park. However, we are experienced and ready for the challenge, and our approach remains the same\u2014collecting points,\u201d he affirmed.<\/p>\n
