The Brazilians lost the first leg quarter-final game in Cairo 2-0 last weekend and will be looking to reverse the scoreline in Pretoria on Saturday
Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Manqoba Mngqithi would not be drawn into condemning the actions of attacking midfielder Gaston Sirino, who last weekend donned the jersey of Caf Champions League rivals Al Ahly.
Speculation had been rife late last year that Sirino was wanted by Al Ahly and the player was quoted confirming his interest in joining former Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane at the nine-time Champions League winners.
Masandawana had to issue a hard-hitting statement on the matter and since then Sirino has gradually and of late, increasingly played himself back into the technical team's plans.
