Alienated Mputu reinstated into TP Mazembe squad after club accepts apology

Tout Puissant Mazembe have brought club veteran Tresor Mputu back into the squad after his formal apology was received and accepted by the hierarchy.

The forward was suspended following events in a Linafoot game between the Ravens and DC Motema Pemba on December 15.

Mputu reacted angrily to being withdrawn and directed expletives at the club president Moise Katumbi, who expressed his displeasure at the 34-year-old, who subsequently apologised.

It didn’t stop the club from sanctioning the veteran, who never stopped being remorseful over his attitude.

His mea culpa has now been acknowledged by the club, with the attacker officially reinstated to the side on Christmas Day, leading to Mputu reacting to his recall.
