AFCON 2015: DR Congo Player Wants Game Off
Defender Gabriel Zakuani wants DR Congo to pull out of their Africa Cup of Nations third-place play-off against Equatorial Guinea amid security fears.
His side face the hosts on Saturday at the same venue where rioting marred the home side's semi-final against Ghana.
"If they're throwing this [rocks and glass] at players, Eq Guinea, you can have 3rd place, I love football but prefer to live," Zakuani, 28, tweeted.
Equatorial Guinea's football federation has been fined £65,000 for the trouble.
It has also been told by the Confederation of African Football (Caf) to meet the cost of treatment of the 36 injured supporters.
Caf ordered Equatorial Guinea to play one match behind closed doors, but suspended the sanction "in the spirit of fair play".
