DR Congo: Kabongo Kasongo and Jackson Muleka set to miss Afcon due to visa issues

DR Congo forwards Kabongo Kasongo and Jackson Muleka will miss the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations after failing to secure visas for their nation’s trip to Spain.

The Leopards have travelled to the European nation for a training camp as they gear up for the biennial showpiece, which begins in Egypt on June 21.

However, Kasongo and Muleka won’t be joining up with the side after attempts to acquire visas for them proved unsuccessful.

As reported by Football 365, the Ministry of Sports last week had assured the pair that visas would be given soon, but the forwards remain stranded in Kinshasa while their teammates have headed to Europe.
