Saad Samir, Al Ahly’s defender, is expected to join the team’s training sessions within the next 48 hours after recovering from a minor leg injury.

Samir has been performing a short recovery program in the past few days after suffering pain in his adductor muscle.

The Reds will have their second training session in Pretoria, South Africa on Wednesday in order to continue their preparations for Saturday’s game against Mamelodi Sundowns.

Al Ahly’s football first team is set to face Mamelodi Sundowns in the second leg of the CAF Champions League quarter-finals on Saturday, after beating Sundowns 2-0 in the first leg.
