“Preparations are going well, everyone is looking forward to going to Cairo to face one of the biggest teams on the continent,” he said. “It’s always interesting when you play Al Ahly. I think it’s becoming one of the biggest derbies on the African continent in terms of the Champions League and clubs, so everyone is looking forward [to it].”
Onyango went on to comment on the status of the squad, saying: “Looking at the way the team has been training the whole week, we don’t have so many injuries but I believe that the technical team will choose the best team to travel and get the maximum results.”
The clash between the two sides is sure to be an enthralling one, and Onyango is confident that Sundowns can get the job done. “So far so good, we’re happy that we’re going to play them when we have at least six points and we are on a winning side,” he concluded.
