Democratic Republic of Congo players celebrate a goal
DR Congo have cancelled a planned three-day World Cup training camp and farewell event in Kinshasa due to an Ebola outbreak in the eastern part of the country.
The outbreak involves the rare Bundibugyo strain of Ebola, which has reportedly caused more than 130 deaths and nearly 600 suspected cases. The World Health Organization has declared the situation a public health emergency of international concern.
Despite the disruption, Congo will proceed with scheduled warm-up matches against Denmark national football team in Liege on June 3 and Chile national football team in Spain on June 9.
