Club: Al-Faisaly

Playing in the hole above the midfield and behind the forward line is the 27-year-old Khalil Bani Attiah. Like the previous names in the list, he also came through the junior ranks of the country, having represented them numerous times in the U-19 and U-22 levels.

But, unlike the young guns, he has represented Jordan 59 times and even found the back of the net seven times. Khalil is also known for breaking the attacks and winning fouls in the defensive half of the pitch.

This Saturday, Pronay Halder and Anirudh Thapa will not only have to keep him in check but also two other midfielders in the centre of the field. Khalil Bani Attiah would be leading them and orchestrating the midfield to ensure they get the leverage.
