Tau had been injured for weeks. And he missed the FIFA Club World Cup in the United Arab Emirates earlier this month (February).
However, the Bafana Bafana star returned to training on Monday. And he appears to have done enough to warrant a place in the starting line-up that will battle his former employers this weekend.
After a dull 0-0 draw against Sudanese side Al-Hilal in the opening game in the CAF Champions League group stage, Al Ahly are looking to gain their first three points in their title-defending journey.
The Reds are set to host Sundowns on Saturday at the WE Al-Salam Stadium. And a win will ensure they share the first spot in Group A with their South African counterparts.
