DR Congo team news

DR Congo return to competitive action after a FIFA suspension earlier in the year due to government interference, missing two qualifiers in March - they have since had the ban lifted and resumed play in June.

The squad faces no major injury or suspension issues relevant to the match, and regulars such as Yoane Wissa, Cedric Bakambu, and Chancel Mbemba are expected to feature. 

Senegal team news

Senegal are missing young striker Assane Diao, who suffered an injury relapse and is out for several weeks, representing a setback. Goalkeeper Edouard Mendy suffered a contusion in club action recently and remains a doubt for selection, but he has joined the squad and may be available if fully fit.

There are no reported suspensions among core Senegal internationals, so Sadio Mané, Ismaïla Sarr, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Habib Diallo are all in line to start unless last-minute fitness issues arise.
