Orlando Pirates' Sifiso Myeni will be fit for the African Champions League at the weekend, said coach Roger de Sa.
The nippy forward came on as a substitute in Saturday's derby against Kaizer Chiefs but got a knock which left his participation in the match against Egyptian giants Al Ahly on Saturday at the Orlando Stadium in doubt.
But the coach moved quickly to dispel any suggestions that Myeni might not make the first leg.
"It was a light knock, nothing serious and it is not the same leg where he has had previous problems," said De Sa.
Myeni has struggled in recent weeks with a knee problem but De Sa described him as a tough fighter.
Pirates still have long term injuries to Patrick Phungwayo and Siyabonga Sangweni.
The coach said there were no qualms about fitness going into the two legs over the next two weekends.
"If we are not ready now, we'll never be ready," he added.
