Impact Amiri had been dealing with an injury midweek, and after missing a midweek Conference League match, the midfielder has been able to train. This brings some confidence that the midfielder could be an option for Saturday, hoping to regain a regular starter in the midfield as injuries continue to stack up. However, if he were to miss out again, Lee Jae-Sung will likely move to the midfield while Nelson Weiper or Arnaud Nordin start at forward.
