Yannick Bolasie’s form sparks calls for return to DRC national team

Yannick Bolasie, the 35-year-old Congolese forward, is enjoying a career revival at Brazilian club Criciúma Esporte Clube. Despite his age, Bolasie has emerged as one of the standout performers in the Brazilian Serie A this season.

The former Crystal Palace player’s impressive displays have reignited discussions about his potential return to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) national team, the Leopards.

Bolasie’s last appearance for the national side was in 2022, during a World Cup qualifying play-off match against Morocco.

In the current Brazilian championship, Bolasie has played 32 matches, scoring eight goals and contributing four assists.

This consistent form has bolstered calls for his inclusion in the Leopards’ squad for the upcoming international break in March.

With 50 caps to his name, Bolasie has been a pivotal figure for the DRC over the years, tallying nine goals and five assists for the national side.

As the cousin of former footballer Lomana LuaLua, Bolasie has a rich footballing legacy and remains a fan favorite among Congolese supporters.

The decision now lies with Leopards coach Sébastien Desabre, who may consider Bolasie’s resurgence as a reason to recall the veteran winger for upcoming fixtures. Bolasie’s ability to perform at a high level despite his age has positioned him as a valuable asset, both on and off the field.

As the international break approaches, all eyes will be on Desabre to see if Bolasie’s standout season in Brazil earns him another opportunity to represent the DRC.
