Major Setback for DR Congo: Youssouf Mulumbu Injured
DR Congo suffered a significant blow during their second Group B match at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations against Cape Verde. Team captain and midfield leader Youssouf Mulumbu was forced off the pitch late in the first half, clutching his thigh, suggesting a potential muscle injury.
🩺 Injury Details:
Mulumbu went down twice before being stretchered off.
He was seen in clear discomfort, having taken a knock earlier that required attention.
The injury came as a shock for the Leopards, especially given his importance in the midfield.
🔁 Substitution:
Nelson Munganga came on to replace the West Bromwich Albion midfielder.
🧩 Implications:
Mulumbu is now doubtful for DR Congo’s crucial final group match against Tunisia, who are currently leading the group following their 2-1 win over Zambia.
Losing their captain and experienced anchor could significantly affect the team’s balance and leadership.
As DR Congo battles for qualification, all eyes will be on medical updates regarding Mulumbu’s condition ahead of the group decider.
