Norwich City striker Dieumerci Mbokani has been dropped from the Democratic Republic of Congo's squad for three matches.
Mbokani missed the last two African Nations Cup qualifiers for his country after being caught up in the Brussels airport bombing on March 22.
He was due to fly to Kinshasa for the first of the two matches against Angola but after the trauma of being just outside the airport departure hall when the explosions detonated, he decided to stay home.
Mbokani was subsequently criticised by Congolese Football Federation president Constant Omari and he has now been left out of a 31-man squad for the friendlies against Romania and Egypt on May 25 and May 30, before a potentially decisive African Nations Cup qualifier away in Madagascar on June 5.
Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie, who is due to play in Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester United, has been given time off to get married, while Bournemouth striker Benik Afobe is not included as he is not yet qualified to play for DR Congo.
The former England U21 international travelled to Kinshasa in March but was unable to make his debut because his nationality switch had not been cleared by FIFA.
