Reports coming from Egypt indicated that the 29-year-old has made his way to Cairo, where he will immediately begin training with his Al Ahly teammates ahead of their CAF Champions League clash with CR Belouizdad.

Tau missed Bafana Bafana's third-place play-off game against DR Congo with a suspected injury.
His teammates meanwhile will return to South Africa, where a full-capacity crowd is expected to show up.
