Enyimba will march onto the pitch this weekend for their 11 knockout stage game in CAF club competitions as they trade tackles with last season’s losing finalists in the CAF Confederation Cup, Pyramids FC in the first leg of the quarterfinal.
Enyimba pipped Orlando Pirates on the final day of group games to book a place in the last eight as Group A winners, while Pyramids although in a more comfortable manner finished as runners up Group C.
Coach Fatai Osho has a handful of players ruled out for the Pyramids clash. Influential winger Anayo Iwuala misses the tie due to suspension and defender Nabil Yarou is out due to travel passport issues.
Left-back Imo obot joins Stanley Okorom, Samson Obi, and Sadiq Abubakar on the treatment table.
The rest of the squad is fresh and available for selection.
The tie which is billed for Sunday at 5pm Nigerian time will see the Elephants march onto the 30,000 capacity 30 June Stadium in Cairo.
Enyimba has fond memories of playing in Egypt, the best coming in 2003 where the Elephants lifted their maiden African title.
