Al Ahly head coach Marcel Koller has been urged to recall Percy Tau ahead of Saturday's CAF Champions League semi-final against TP Mazembe.
The South African international has not featured for the African champions since their 1-0 win over Simba SC in the first leg of their CAF Champions League semi-final earlier this month.

There were reports claiming Tau was available for selection to face Zamalek on Monday evening, but the former Mamelodi Sundowns forward was not included in the squad.
Former Egypt international Mohamed Salah, who played for El Koroum SC, claims Tau along with a few other players must return for the clash against TP Mazembe on Saturday.
"I have confidence in Al Ahly's victory over Mazembe. This is the advantage of the big teams. They close the file of the previous matches and then focus on the upcoming matches," Salah said, as per Corner Sport.
"Koller will not be stubborn in the formation again, and he will wake up in the future. He cannot play against Mazembe with the same formation that he played in the Zamalek match.
"Koller's insistence on including Anthony Modeste lowers the morale of the other strikers, and Koller must field Wissam Abu Ali, Reda Slim and Percy Tau in the attacking line against Mazembe."
