Pitso Mosimane’s Al Ahly squad boosted by key players for Zamalek clash

Walter Bwalya and Saad Samir have returned to Pitso Mosimane’s 25-man Al Ahly squad for their top-of-the-table clash against Zamalek in the Egyptian Premier League on Monday, 10 May.

Kick-off is at 21:30 SA time.

Zamalek currently lead the title race in Egypt with 44 points, four ahead of Al Ahly.

However, Al Ahly do have two matches in hand.

They will face each other for the second time in less than a month on Monday in what is a pivotal game for the title chase.

Al Ahly have been boosted by the timely return of DR Congo international Walter Bwalya whose future at the club is in doubt after his unconvincing displays since signing for the Cairo giants.

Meanwhile, veteran centre-back Saad Samir was also included after missing out on the Al-Ittihad match last week.
