Ghana defender Harrison Afful has returned to training ahead of Esperance�s Caf Champions League final first leg tie against WAC on Sunday. The versatile wing-back suffered an ankle injury during the second leg semi-final match against Al Hilal of Sudan. Esperance coach Nabil Maaloul will further assess the former Asante Kotoko player before the team�s departure to Casablanca on Friday. Afful has been influential in the Blood and Gold�s qualification to a second consecutive final. The two north-Africans have already met in the group phase, on both occasions unable to distinguish themselves in Morocco (2-2) as well as in Tunisia (0-0). The Blood and Gold won Africa�s most prestigious competition in 1994, have since been runners-up three times (1999, 2000 and 2010) and dream of the glory of another win and of a historic treble after having won the championship as well as the National Cup this season. Wydad Casablanca, leader of the Botola Pro (the Moroccan championship) after six days, , would also love to clinch a second continental silverware after 1992.
