Kayembe heading home after DR Congo exit Afcon

Watford midfielder Edo Kayembe will head back to England after his DR Congo side were knocked out of the Africa Cup of Nations on Tuesday.

The Leopards were beaten 1-0 by Algeria after extra time in Rabat to exit the competition at the last-16 stage.

The 27-year-old came on as a substitute in the 70th minute as his side lost to an Adil Boulbina goal in the final moments of extra time.

Kayembe had previously been used as a substitute in DR Congo's 1-1 draw with Senegal in their second group game before starting the 1-0 win over Benin.
