Bashar Resan (R) is an important player for the Iraqi side

Air Force Club Iraq manager Basim Qasim will be without key midfielder Bashar Resan, who was sent off in the semi-final second leg against Al Ahed, ruling him out of the clash with the Indian champions.

The Iraqis will also be without defender Saad Natif who is unavailable for the clash due to his participation with the national squad ahead of their 2018 World Cup qualifiers. The unavailability of these two players will be a vital blow to the Iraqi club.

The Air Force Club consists mostly of Iraqis, although only a few have gone on to represent the nation.
