What challenge did Statue Man overcome to attend the Colombia match?

Question

Accepted Answer

Statue Man attended the Colombia match after overcoming Ebola-related quarantine restrictions that had kept him away from DR Congo’s World Cup opener against Portugal.
Michel Nkuka Mboladinga, known as “Statue Man”, missed DR Congo’s tournament debut because quarantine restrictions prevented him from attending. Ebola-related quarantine rules also stopped him from being present for the team’s opening match against Portugal. He was finally able to appear against Colombia after those restrictions no longer prevented him from attending.
He missed DR Congo’s World Cup debut due to quarantine restrictions
When DR Congo reached their first World Cup in half a century, “Statue Man” was not there for the tournament debut. The reason given was quarantine restrictions that kept him away from the matches at the start of the tournament.
Ebola-related quarantine rules blocked him from the opener against Portugal
Even after DR Congo’s qualification, Ebola-related quarantine rules prevented him from attending the opening match against Portugal. As a result, he had to watch that history unfold from afar rather than in the stands.
His Colombia appearance came after he was previously kept out
His appearance against Colombia was framed as significant because he had previously been unable to attend due to quarantine. Once he was allowed to be present, he resumed his motionless “Statue Man” pose while thousands of fans roared, sang and celebrated around him.
