Ben Malango: Forward embroiled in battle with TP Mazembe over Raja transfer

Raja Casablanca striker Ben Malango won’t feature in the Moroccan outfit’s Caf Champions League first-round encounter against Al Nasr on Sunday, as he awaits approval from Fifa to represent the Green Eagles.

The frontman joined the Moroccans in July on a three-year deal but has had his first appearance put off due to a complaint from former club Tout Puissant Mazembe.
