CAN 2021: the DRC falls back on the premises

CAN 2021: the DRC falls back on the premises

The DRC coach had no choice. Christian Nsengi will have to do without some of his players playing in Europe retained by their clubs. Therefore, the Congolese technician turns to the local players for the last two games of the CAN 2021 qualifiers. Three of them have just been called to face the first defections.

The African selections are in great disarray. Many will indeed be deprived of their players playing in Europe for the 5th and 6th round of the CAN 2021 qualifiers. An unfortunate setback which therefore forces the coaches to rely on local players. This is particularly the case of the coach of DR Congo, Christian Nsengi , after the first withdrawals.

Thus, Arsène Zola (TP Mazembe), Joël Beya (TP Mazembe) and Dark Kabangu (DCMP) join the selection, announced the Fédé in a press release Thursday. They find other premises already selected on the list of 31 for the trip to Gabon (March 25) and the reception of Gabon (March 29).

The three players will therefore replace Timothy Fayulu (FC Sion), Christian Luyindama (Galatasaray) and Dieumerci Mbokani (Antwerp, Belgium). All have given up on joining the selection for the two decisive matches for qualifying for CAN 2021.

Third in Pool D, the Leopards must win at least one of the two games to hope to qualify. What is not won in advance especially with the many other defections which are announced. DR Congo should indeed lose some of its internationals that European clubs have decided to block. It is in application of a FIFA directive which gives them the authorization. In the name of the fight against Covid-19.
