Foot.cd reports on the travel difficulties encountered by DR Congo in making the trip to Libreville for their critical AFCON qualifying match against Gabon. A chartered flight scheduled to fly the team to Gabon on Monday was unable to make the trip until Wednesday, a day before the clash.
Despite the troubles in getting to Gabon the DRC looks to be mostly a full-strength squad with cornerstones Marcel Tisserand and Chancel Mbemba arrived from Europe along with domestic-based stars. The Leopards have been underachieving in the qualifying campaign with six points, one behind both Gambia and Gabon, with a loss on the road likely eliminating them from contention for a spot in Cameroon. Foot DRC has the updated squad in the second link below.
