Watford midfielder Edo Kayembe is set to make his debut at a major international tournament after being named in the DR Congo squad for the Africa Cup of Nations, which starts in Morocco later this month.

The 27-year-old was also selected for the last Afcon in January/February 2024 but missed the whole tournament with an injury.

Kayembe, who has made 35 international appearances, is one of five English-based players named in head coach Sebastien Desabre's 26-man squad but the only one from outside the Premier League.

DR Congo open their Afcon campaign against Benin on 23 December before facing Senegal and Botswana in the group stage.
