File Photo: Ahly's new Moroccan defender Achraf Dari
Dari, aged 24, who joined Ahly at the end of August, was gearing up to represent Morocco in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Lesotho when he twisted his ankle during warm-up activities.
Dari can now travel with Ahly to South Africa for their upcoming showdown with Orlando Pirates in the second round of the CAF Champions League group stage scheduled for Saturday.
In other news, midfielder Emam Ashour, absent from Ahly's recent goalless draw against NBE Club due to a disciplinary fine of EGP 1 million for "misconduct," has also returned to training sessions in preparation for the Champions League fixture.
Ahly kicked off their continental campaign positively by defeating Stade d'Abidjan of Cote d’Ivoire 4-2 in their previous match.
