Thursday's training session was highlighted by the significant return of an important trio, namely Algerian defender Mohamed Amine Tougai and the two forwards Rodrigo Rodriguez and Achraf Jabri.

Having suffered from muscular injuries, the three players missed the recent matches of the "blood and gold" club in the local championship.

An excellent boost in prospect for the new coach, who will have the opportunity to field a competitive team in this grand African football classic.

Espérance aims for a 5th title

The "blood and gold" club hopes to secure a 5th CAF Champions League title following their victories in the 1994, 2011, 2018, and 2019 editions.
