Midfielder Ngalamulumé Bato will be absent from the squad in the upcoming crucial match against Pyramids FC this Saturday in the CAF Champions League. The seasoned player faces suspension due to the accumulation of yellow cards over the course of two pivotal encounters.
Bato’s ineligibility stems from two instances where he incurred yellow cards during the CAF Champions League campaign.
The first caution was administered during the second day clash against Mamelody Sundowns, and subsequently, he received another yellow card in a showdown with FC Nouadhibou on the fourth matchday.
As a consequence of this disciplinary record, Bato is mandated to sit out the impending encounter against Pyramids FC.
The absence of Ngalamulumé Bato poses a tactical challenge for TP Mazembe, necessitating a strategic adjustment in the midfield. It is anticipated that Mukoko Tunombé will be entrusted with the responsibility to fill the void left by Bato’s suspension.
Tunombé, known for his versatility and skill set, will play a pivotal role in the team’s aspirations to secure victory and move a step closer to qualification for the quarter-finals.
The Ravens of Lubumbashi are cognizant of the significance of this fixture and the potential implications for their advancement in the CAF Champions League.
A triumph over Pyramids FC is imperative for TP Mazembe, as it could solidify their position and propel them into the quarter-finals of the prestigious tournament.
As the football community eagerly anticipates this high-stakes encounter, TP Mazembe remains focused on overcoming the absence of Ngalamulumé Bato and forging a path to success in the CAF Champions League.
