After leaving Percy Tau at Al Ahly, Pitso Mosimane has been impressed how the former Mamelodi Sundowns has been able to bounce back from injuries and show his class on the pitch for the Egyptian giants. 

Mosimane parted ways with Ahly last year and, a few months later, joined Saudi Arabian second tier club Al Ahli, who are competing for topflight promotion at the moment.

Tau, meanwhile, has been in good form for Ahly, particularly in the CAF Champions League group stages where he has scored two goals and has provided as many assists. 

Sign In

As Bafana Bafana prepare to take on Liberia in two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, head coach Hugo Broos is likely to have a lot of his hopes pinned on the 28-year-old attacker who has 13 senior international goals to his name. 

"Look at how he does his things. Percy is unbelievable. He is top level, top class, different culture, different mentality. He trains by himself. He was unfortunately hit by injuries lately, but now he is back and I hope he helps us against Liberia. We should beat Liberia," Mosimane said during a Nedbank Cup event held in Soweto on Thursday.

He could form a lethal attack with Lyle Foster and Cassius Mailula, who has been in sublime form for Sundowns in both domestic and continental football.
