DR Congo swap injured Bushiri for Aaron Tshibola
DR Congo forced to amend its World Cup roster two days after it was released, after Rocky Bushiri was ruled out by injury. Aaron Tshibola, a player based in Scotland, has been named as his replacement.
The decision comes after medical assessment confirmed Bushiri cannot recover in time for the tournament. His omission leaves a gap in the squad that needed to be filled promptly.
Tshibola, who currently plies his trade in Scotland, was called up to fill the vacancy. The player will join the national team ahead of the competition.
The revised list was submitted to the tournament organizers ahead of the deadline. The change ensures DR Congo complies with squad regulations.
The adjustment comes as the team prepares for its World Cup campaign, aiming to compete at the highest level. The new addition will join the training camp immediately.
DR Congo will move forward with the updated squad, hoping the replacement can contribute to their performance in the competition.
