Al Ahly Boosted By Abou Ali Return
Al Ahly have been boosted by the news that Wessam Abou Ali has returned to availability after recovering from an injury that had sidelined him since the November international break.
The Red Eagles touched down in Johannesburg, South Africa, early Thursday morning ahead of a clash against Orlando Pirates on Saturday in Matchday 2 of the CAF Champions League group stage.
The strikers return is good news for Al Ahly coach, Marcel Koller. In Wessams absence the Cairo club lacked their usual attacking threat and they were held to a goalless draw in the Egyptian League on Sunday against NBE.
The squad also saw the return of Moroccan defender Achraf Dari, who has struggled with injury since he joined the club.
Saturdays Champions League encounter will be the Reds last match before heading to Qatar to participate in the 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
