According to the team’s official website, Maaloul was among Ahly’s 25-man squad that headed early on Tuesday to Morocco ahead of the return match against Raja in the African Champions League quarterfinals this coming Saturday.

Title holders Ahly took a slender first-leg advantage after beating 10-man Raja 2-1 at home on Saturday.

The 32-year-old Maaloul missed the first leg as he was suffering from a muscular strain.

Record seven-time African champions Ahly are seeking to become the first team to win a hat-trick of successive Champions League crowns.
