Nigerian forward Junior Ajayi has been named in Al Ahly’s squad for this weekend’s CAF Champions League group B tie against F.C. Platinum in Bulawayo.
Ajayi has made three appearances in the competition this season, and has a goal to his name.
In the first-leg against the Zimbabwean club side, in December, Ajayi was substituted in the first half as a mere precaution after he complained about a sharp pain in his knee.
The match at the Al Salaam Stadium in Cairo ended 2-0 in favor of Rene Weiler’s men.
He missed one game but returned a week after and grabbed a goal in Al Ahly’s 3-0 routing of Masr in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Saturday’s match against Platinum will hold at the Barbourfields Stadium.
Al Ahly, 8 times champions of the CAF CL, are currently top of group B with 6 points from three games, tied with Al-Hilal.
