Fate has dealt Ezechiel Banzunzi a cruel blow, as the young RB Leipzig talent saw his international ambitions abruptly halted just as he was intensifying efforts to join the Congolese national team.
The German club has confirmed a serious injury to the ligament in his left knee, an announcement that comes as a real blow to the player and to Congolese fans who were hoping to see him wear the national team jersey soon.
This injury likely means an early end to the season for the midfielder. In addition to being sidelined from Bundesliga action, Banzunzi now sees his integration process with the Leopards completely stalled.
While head coach Sebastien Desabre appeared keen on him to bolster the DRCs midfield, this long-term unavailability makes his call-up impossible for the upcoming crucial World Cup qualifiers.
