Last updated : 10 November 2014 By Steve Forbes

Hibs striker Dominique Malonga could be set for a quick fire debut for Congo, after he flew out to join up with his new international team mates today.

Malonga has been handed his first call-up after scoring 6 goals in 10 games since signing for the Hibees.

The 25-year-old has previously been capped at U19 level for France, but is now in line to make his Congo debut as they face Nigeria, in attempt to qulaify for the African Nations Cup.

Malonga will miss this weekend's clash with Queen of the South and could miss up to a month of the season should Congo qualify.
