The Congolese Football Federation have just informed RC Deportivo that Gaël Kakuta has been preselected to train with the national side at the end of this month in Marrakesh (Morocco). The objective is to prepare the next qualifiers of the African Cup of Nations and the third qualifying round for the Russia 2018 World Cup.

In the next few days, federal officials will publish the final list, as well as the dates and possible friendly matches.

Last March, Kakuta was in the starting XI against Kenya and scored a beautiful goal from a direct free-kick, however it was not enough to stop the Congo side from losing 2-1.
