BRYAN MBEUMO WILL MISS THE AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS IN IVORY COAST

Bryan Mbeumo will be out for 12 weeks with an ankle injury and will miss the forthcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast.

Mbeumo sustained the injury during Brentford’s 2-1 loss against Brighton & Hove Albion last week.

“Operation today in the ankle,” Brentford’s coach Thomas Frank stated .

“Out for 12 weeks. So that will affect his Africa Cup of Nations. He will not participate.

“Let’s get through the operation first. Bryan is a positive guy. Everyone that gets a set back it’s always tough to take, but he will come back stronger. Very, very good mindset so I’m convinced he will come back stronger.”
