He stayed away from the team soon after skipping qualifiers against Algeria, Togo and for Benin in the return fixture including the previous lacklustre savaging to Angola in the World Cup qualifier.
He was one of players reported to have been disenchanted over Tom Saintfiet’s exclusion of some players.

‘He is into the squad. He never had a problem with the coach,’ a source from the federation tells Foroyaa Sport yesterday evening.
