Simba central defender Hennock Inonga Baka is among the players who were called to the DR Congo national team for the matches to qualify for the Afcon 2023 finals
However, the defender, who was suffering from shoulder injuries, did not join the national team after Simba's leadership asked for permission from the DR Congo Football Federation so that he could recover fully
Inonga is progressing well and has already started training with other players as his health has improved
The good news for Coach Robertinho Oliveira is that he will be sure to use Inonga in the matches to qualify for the African Champions League group stage against Power Dynamos where the first leg will be played on September 16 in Zambia
Inonga has distinguished himself as a key player in Simba's defense as a leading player in the area
He has already formed a good relationship with the new Cameroonian defender Che Malone Fondoh
