Fathi boost for giants Al Ahly

Ahmed Fathi
Ahmed Fathi is available for Sunday clash against Coton Sport

Egyptian club Al Ahly have drafted in midfielder Ahmed Fathi for Sunday's Champions League final after missing much of the season through injury.

The 24-year-old, who has been absent since April with an Achilles tendon injury, has recovered in time for the second leg clash against Cameroon's Coton Sport.

The Cairo side, seeking a record sixth Champions League triumph, hold a 2-0 lead from the first leg going into the match in Garoua.

Coton Sport are hoping to become the first Cameroon side to win the Champions League since Canon Yaounde in 1980.
