Arthur Masuaku Returns Back to West Ham After Requesting to Leave DR Congo Camp

West Ham defender Arthur Masuaku won't be making his debut for the DR Congo national side this international break, despite having chosen to represent the African nation instead of fighting his way into the France set-up.

The 24-year-old represented France at both Under-18 and Under-19 level, but switched allegiances last June and received his first call-up to the DR Congo this year.

Things haven't worked out as swimmingly as perhaps first thought, though, with the defender now set for an early return to West Ham.

DR Congo's FA (Fecofa) have confirmed that Makuasu and three other players asked to return to their respective clubs after seeing how badly organised things were in the camp.
