Club Sportif Constantine were given a boost with the news that striker Abdelfetah Ismail Belkacemi, midfielder Mounir Aichi and defender Islam Chahrour will all be fit for Saturday’s Caf Champions League quarter-final, first leg match against Esperance.
The timely return of the three regulars coincides with the news that Caf will allow Constantine fans to attend the match at the Stade Mohamed-Hamlaoui.
Caf had ordered Constantine to play this match behind closed doors as punishment after their supporters caused excessive smoke from the use of flares in the group match against Club Africain, which they lost 1-0 at home.
