Lualua will end his 15 month international exile and play for DR Congo this weekend. The player has put the disagreement between him and the DR Congo management behind him and will play in the Africa Nations cup clash with Ethiopia on Sunday.
Lualua has not played for DR Congo since January last year when the DR Congo management kept news about the death of his 18 month old son Jesus during from him during DR Congo's African Nations cup campaign afraid it would affect his form.
Talking to The News Lualua said "I love my country. I haven't played since my little boy passed away more than a year ago now, so I'm looking forward to going there and playing football again.
"It's amazing playing for Congo and I've missed it. I don't know how to explain it but I've said all along only one thing brings a country together – that's football.

"It's very, very big back home. When I was growing up in London everywhere you went you would see kids playing football. In Africa, though, on every corner its football, football, football. It's amazing.
"Nothing makes me happier than to see those people with a smile on their face.
"When I can't play any more than I will probably stop going there but in the meantime I can't do that. I have to represent my country.
"I've missed it. It's a great atmosphere and I'm definitely looking forward to that again."
