Ahly’s goal machine Tau to miss FIFA Club World Cup with a muscle injury

While the national team is away in Cameroon for the Africa Cup of Nations, Egyptian football has carried on with its League Cup competition until league play resumes. African champions Al Ahly were eliminated from contention for the playoff round but suffered a much more significant loss when South African forward Percy Tau was forced off du to injury. Tau will be out for around a month due to a muscle injury, ruling him out of the FIFA Club World Cup for Ahly.
