Tout Puissant Mazembe forward Tresor Mputu has apologized to the club’s president Moise Katumbi, supporters and his teammates for his conduct in Sunday’s encounter with DC Motema Pembe.
The 34-year-old reacted badly to his withdrawal in Sunday’s game, and scenes turned sour as he directed expletives at Katumbi, who was said to be hurt and disappointed by the striker’s attitude.
On Tuesday, however, the already-sanctioned Mputu was remorseful about Sunday’s events and tendered an apology to the club.
