Afcon: DR Congo unveil final squad

The Democratic Republic Congo have announced their final 23-man squad for the Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled to begin in Egypt on June 21.

Florent Ibenge cut Kabongo Kasongo and Jackson Muleka from the final selection, after the forwards failed to secure visas in time for the nation’s training camp trip to Spain.

Giannelli Imbula will also miss out due to administrative reasons, after realising at the team’s training camp that his “file is not up to date”.

However, the stars of the side – Cedric Bakambu, Yannick Bolasie, Chancel Mbemba and Arthur Masuaku – all made the cut.
