Then let him stay here and work his way back so he’s at peak fitness by March”. Obviously still completely relies on both Wissa and Congo buying into that theory, but at least it’s a little something to try and bargain with. Unfortunately for us it doesn't work that way. They can call him up and play him as much as they like, we have no say. If he wants to play for his country we are shit out of luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never spoken to the man so I can't say what he is thinking but I bet many here will know his every private thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I mean I'm sure we are trying to nudge him that way but ultimately we knew what we were getting mind. I think the bottom line is the player will be deciding, he's got form when it comes to getting his own way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know Wissa might be bang up for the AFCON or even if he’s not, Congo might tell us to fuck clean off for suggesting he misses it. But - we don’t know that’s the case. I’d expect if we do want to try and get him to miss it, then we go about it fairly discreetly, by speaking with him first and then Congo. And the first we were to really hear of it would be when it had all been agreed. I’m fairly sceptical than we manage to get him to miss it, but the premise of getting him to peak fitness by a potential WC playoff in March, is at least something that we could try and use as justification for being in everybody’s best interests.

Kid Icarus Posted November 15, 2025 Share Posted November 15, 2025 End of the day, if he wanted his decision to represent his country to be taken seriously, he should have chosen to represent the French part of his Congolese heritage, Belgium.

Alberto2005 Posted November 16, 2025 Share Posted November 16, 2025 (edited) Maybe Congo qualifying for the WC is good news? Gives him something to look forward to if he misses African Nations.

They’re currently the highest ranked country in the inter continental playoffs so they’ll most likely go straight into 1 of two finals, for two spaces.

Sibierski Posted November 17, 2025 Share Posted November 17, 2025 You hope common sense comes into DRC thinking now they have the massive World Cup qualifiers in March. Wissa sits out of ACON, builds up fitness and confidence with club, ready to play a huge role in March. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaurentRobert Posted November 17, 2025 Share Posted November 17, 2025 (edited) Hoe strong are DR Congo relative to their Afcon group? Is it inconceivable that they get knocked out in the group stage? In which case Wissa would only be away for 10 days. Edited November 17, 2025 by LaurentRobert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
