Fritz, Di Santo and Co. went through two training sessions on Monday. In the morning, the team was in the weight room before heading out to the training grounds in the afternoon. One player who was missing from both sessions was Cedrick Makiadi, who left Sunday evening to join the Democratic Republic of Congo national team.

Makiadi, who had earned 18 previous caps for Congo, was nominated by coach Florent Ibenge for the up-coming qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations against Cameroon (6 September) and Sierra Leone (10 September). The 30-year-old last played for his country in 2013, playing all three group matches of the Africa Cup of Nations.
