Pitso's Al Ahly arrive in Morocco
Pitso Mosimane's Al Ahly have arrived in Morocco ahead of their Caf Champions League semi-final clash against Wydad Casablanca on Saturday evening.
The Red Devils will be hoping to bounce back and return to winning ways following their 1-1 draw with Pyramid FC in the Egyptian Premier League last weekend.
Mosiamen's side will now prepare for the first leg of their Champions League last-four encounter at the Stade Mohammed V Stadium when they take on a wounded Wydad outfit in Morocco.
However, Mosimane will be boosted by the fact that winger Mahmoud Kahraba has joined the squad as he looks to recover in time for the Saturday's clash. He was left out of their game against Pyramids due to a hamstring injury.
Meanwhile, Ali Malooul rejoins the team in Morocco on Wednesday after turning out for the Tunisia national team during the Fifa international break.
Al Ahly released the following statement on their arrival in Morocco:
'Al Ahly’s players touched down in Casablanca as the Red Eagles prepare to face Wydad AC in the CAF Champions League semi-final first leg on Saturday.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
