Tau was pictured with his new Al Ahly teammates on Sunday, in his first training session since picking up an injury early on in his life in Egypt. 

Tau recently moved to Red Devils from Brighton

The player recently moved to Al Ahly during the previous transfer window and while the club have already played games this season, Tau has since been prevented from making his long awaited debut for the Red Devils due to a chronic injury.

It was first suggested that Tau would be out for a couple of months but news started circulating last week that he could in fact make a return to CAF Champions League winners’ training all of two weeks earlier than expected. The player’s injury is the reason why he was eventually omitted from Hugo Broos’ latest Bafana Bafana squad, despite making the preliminary squad earlier for the back to back Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Ethiopia

In fact, the situation around his injury got so tense that Al Ahly had reportedly threaten to terminate Tau’s contract if he decided to go against the club’s wishes and attended the Bafana Bafana camp. That particular threat seems to have worked, as Broos opted to oblige and subsequently leave his talisman in Egypt.

However, the situation regarding Tau did not seem that tense anymore, as the tricky winger spotted back in full training with his Al Ahly teammates and all smiles in the Cairo sun. “The return of our player Percy Tau to participate in group training” said a translated caption on their Facebook account.
