Congo Brazzaville star striker Thievy Bifouma has been ruled out of Sunday’s crucial 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) clash against Zimbabwe due to injury.
With four goals in five games so far in this campaign, Bifouma’s absence could come as a blow for the Congo team that needs a win against Group G leaders Zimbabwe.
Yeni Malatyaspor striker Bifouma will be joined on the sidelines by AS Otoho forward Cabwey Kivutuka who is also nursing an injury.
“Bifouma and Kivutuka are now officially out,’’ The Herald quoted the Congolese football federation as announcing.
