Siyabonga Ngezana will not take part in FCSB's crucial UEFA Europa League qualifying match later this week.
In FCSB’s four Romanian SuperLiga matches so far, the club has managed just one victory, one draw, and two defeats.

To make matters worse, FCSB also missed out on UEFA Champions League football last week after losing to relative minnows from North Macedonia in the second qualifying round.
This led to a public meltdown from FCSB owner Gigi Becali, who took aim at his players, name-dropping those he wasn't particularly impressed with.
That said, he also publicly mentioned that Ngezana was among the few players he could not fault for their recent performances.
While Ngezana’s standing in the team appears unaffected by the poor results, FCSB will now have to do without him later this week as they begin their quest to qualify for the Europa League.
FCSB will play the first leg against Kosovan club Drita in the third qualifying round of the Europa League in Bucharest.
Ngezana will miss the match due to suspension after accumulating too many yellow cards in previous UEFA competition matches.
The South African centre-back is expected to be available for the second leg of the tie.
