The Nottingham Forest striker is still to play for his country.

Nottingham Forest will again be concerned after their striker Britt Assombalonga was yet again called up to international duty with the Democratic Republic of Congo.

It is reported by Afrique Le360 that Assombalonga has been called up by the DR Congo for their upcoming game with Guinea in a World Cup qualifier this month.

If he was to feature this would be his first cap for DR Congo and leave Forest fans worried about Assombalonga heading off to the African Cup of Nations in Gabon next year.

He was called up for fixtures with the DR Congo in August but soon became unavailable for selection with injury. It was not reported whether he had accepted the invitation on that occasion and, for now, the same applies on this occasion.

The Nottingham Forest star, who has only recently returned to action after a spell out injured, is the son of former Zaire international Fedor Assombalonga and was born in the African country.

It will be interesting to see if, on this occasion, the Nottingham Forest star does decide to represent the country of his birth.
