Al Ahly has addressed the recent concerns surrounding Percy Tau’s absence from training, reassuring fans and supporters that there is no cause for alarm.
The South African international had been missing from the team’s sessions following their 0-0 draw and subsequent 6-5 loss to Pachuca in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup semi-final.
The confusion surrounding Tau’s absence prompted speculation among supporters, with some fearing a potential rift between the player and the club.
However, Mohamed Ramadan, Al Ahly’s sporting director, moved quickly to offer a detailed explanation via the club’s official channels.
In his statement, Ramadan clarified that Tau had been sidelined due to stomach pains that required him to rest in bed.
Ramadan confirmed that the 29-year-old had now recovered and would be ready to join his teammates for Friday’s training session.
The news comes as a relief to both the player and the club’s supporters, who had been anxious about the nature of Tau’s absence.
Al Ahly’s attention now turns to an important upcoming fixture in the CAF Champions League.
The Egyptian giants will host CR Belouizdad at home for the third matchday of the group stages.
With this crucial encounter on the horizon, Tau’s return to full fitness is a positive development for Al Ahly, who will be eager to bounce back from their recent defeat on the global stage.
Tau’s absence from training had raised eyebrows, but with his recovery now confirmed, the focus will return to the pitch as Al Ahly continue their pursuit of continental glory.
