Bafana Bafana’s out-of-form striker Percy Tau included in squad for Caf Champions League clash with Orlando Pirates

The 12-time Caf Champions League winners, Al Ahly, will be travelling to South Africa to face Orlando Pirates in matchday two of the group stages.

Both teams started their continental campaigns on a high note with impressive wins.

Out-of-form Percy Tau has been named in the squad, despite ongoing speculation about his future with the Egyptian giants.

As previously reported by GOAL, Tau is reportedly set to leave Al Ahly, with rumours circulating that they are pushing for an early exit, although no concrete developments have emerged yet.

The 30-year-old forward has struggled to find his best form in recent months but remains a key figure in the squad.

His inclusion in the squad for this crucial clash with Pirates raises further questions about his future.

Fans will be eager to see if this match could mark a turning point in his career with Al Ahly.

Tau, a former Sundowns attacker, has enjoyed a solid Caf Champions League campaign, scoring two goals in three appearances.

He will be hoping that his trip back home to South Africa can help him rediscover his place in the starting eleven.

The match against Pirates could offer him a chance to impress both his coach and potential suitors.

Despite his struggles at Al Ahly, Tau's history in continental competition makes him a player to watch.

The game could be an important moment for him to reaffirm his quality and earn more playing time moving forward.

With just six months remaining on his contract with Al Ahly, Tau faces an uncertain future.

The clash against Pirates at Orlando Stadium presents a golden opportunity for him to rewrite his story at the Egyptian club.

A strong performance could increase his chances of securing a permanent spot in the team or even attract interest from other clubs.

If he continues to struggle, it may hasten his departure from the defending champions.

The next few months will be critical in determining Tau's next move, whether it's staying with the Egyptian side or seeking a new challenge elsewhere.
