Al Ahly head coach Pitso Mosimane has named the players who will fly out to Johannesburg to take on Mamelodi Sundowns in the second leg of the Caf Champions League quarter-final on Saturday.
The Egyptian giants come into the game with a 2-0 lead following their victory over the Brazilians this past Saturday evening in North Africa.
Mosimane welcomed back two of the side’s key players in Ali Maaloul and Hamdy Fathi after a lengthy spell on the sidelines, however both are unlikely to feature in the encounter due to a lack of match fitness.
They were, however, dealt a blow with the news that Marwan Mohsen won’t be in the squad after he sustained a knee injury, while Mohamed Mahmoud and Mostafa Shobier are also out of the squad after testing positive for Covid-19.
Full Al Ahly squad:
Goalkeepers: Mohamed El-Shennawy, Ali Lotfy, Hamza Alaa
Defenders: Ramy Rabia, Yasser Ibrahim, Badr Benoun, Mahmoud Metwally, Ayman Ashraf, Mahmoud Wahid, Saad Samir, Mohamed Hany, Ahmed Ramadan Beckham, Ali Maaloul
