Due to injuries within the squad, DR Congo coach Sébastien Desabre announced an update to his roster during a press conference. Forced to adapt his strategy for the upcoming qualifying rounds, the French tactician must cope with the absence of two key players.
Hampered by a hamstring injury, Noah Mbamba has to withdraw from this call-up and is replaced by Aaron Tshibola in the Congolese midfield. Additionally, young forward Idumbo, sidelined for at least three weeks, is replaced by Junior Kadile, who will bolster the attack.
Finally, to strengthen his squad and maintain healthy competition within the Leopards' attack, Sébastien Desabre has also decided to include Samuel Essende in the selected group. These tactical adjustments keep the Congolese team armed and competitive ahead of their crucial matches.
