Sayed Abdelhafiz, Al Ahly's director of football, said that the players are ready to face Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa in the second leg of the CAF Champions League quarter-finals.

"W are keen to qualify to the semis to keep going in the journey of defending our African title."

"We are fully focused on today's game. We can not speak about RS Berkane's match currently, as we must finish the first step before thinking in the second one."

"The whole team is fully concentrated on the encounter since our arrival to South Africa and I hope to have luck today to achieve our goal."

"Hamdy Fathy has recovered from his injury after he participated in the team's training sessions during the last period. As for Maaloul, he will be mostly ready for the games following today's match."

The Reds will face Sundowns on Saturday at 3:00 PM at Lucas Moripe Stadium in the second leg of the CAF Champions League quarter-finals, after defeating the South African team 2-0 in the first leg.
