Following the return to action of Percy Tau last weekend, Al Ahly is set to receive yet another massive boost to their squad for their upcoming CAF Champions League semi-final clash.

Last weekend at the Stade TP Mazembe, Marcel Koller introduced a healed Tau back to the team as a second-half substitute in the first leg of the semi-final tie.
That match between the Red Devils and the Ravens ended 0-0, but heading into the return fixture, the Swiss tactician will have more heavy hitters returning to the squad after lengthy injury lay-offs.
Yesterday, the club's official X (formerly known as Twitter) account released images of the quartet of Hussein El Shahat, Emam Ashour, Aliou Dieng and Mohamed El Shenawy in full training.
The Red Devils' veteran goalkeeper and star midfielders El Shenawy and Dieng have both been out of action since the Africa Cup of Nations, the Egyptian with a dislocated shoulder, and the Malian due to a knee injury.

Ashour, meanwhile, suffered a shoulder injury with the Pharaohs during the previous international break and has been out since, while El Shahat cracked a bone in his face in a Champions League tie against Simba.
According to Aawsat.com, all four have now recovered from their injuries, and will likely play in the decisive second leg against Mazembe, with the exception of El Shenawy.
Since being sidelined, second-choice shot-stopper Oufa Shobeir has deputised for him and is yet to concede a goal in the Champions League this season.
He is expected to continue as the starting goalkeeper for the record African champions, while Ashour, Dieng and El Shahat are all expected to play a role at the Cairo International Stadium on Friday.
