Sundowns manager Gordon Igesund cancelled the first training session in Cairo, scheduled for Monday night, to avoid the fatigue of his players after their long trip from Pretoria to Cairo.

The South-african champions, who are set to face Ahli next Friday in the CAF Champions League third round second leg, arrived on Monday morning. They will train on Ahli grounds on Tuesday and their main session will be held at Cairo Stadium on Wednesday.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) appointed a Kenyan staff of referees to lead the match.

The first leg in Pretoria ended in a 2-2 draw and Ahli need a victory or even a draw to go through.
