In his absence, Cavin Johnson has taken care of Al Ahly who have continued where they left off last season, currently topping the log this season after two matches.

They also got the defence of their CAF Champions League off to a perfect start with victory in their Last 32 first leg match in midweek.

Mosimane did have a visitor on Christmas morning, not Santa, but rather his wife who dropped off a red shirt.

Get better soon, Pitso.
