Al Ahly threatened to terminate Percy Tau's contract if he played for Bafana Bafana

Earlier, Briefly News reported that Bafana Bafana forward Percy Tau had a tough decision to make after facing his most recent injury. Tau recently signed for Al Ahly and the deal made him the highest-valued player at the club.

Bafana Bafana will be in action soon against Ethiopia in the World Cup qualifiers and Tau is a very crucial member of the squad. Because of his injury, Al Ahly management was worried about how the player could be affected if he played and worsened his condition.
