Bees star Mbeumo faces lengthy spell out

By

Brentford fear top scorer Bryan Mbeuno is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines with an ankle injury.

Mbeumo was helped from the pitch during the Bees’ 2-1 defeat at Brighton.

Boss Thomas Frank admitted: “It is bad. He’ll have a scan later, but we don’t know the exact number of weeks he will be out.”


Mbeumo’s absence  is a blow for Brentford as he has played a key role while Ivan Toney has been serving a ban for breaking football’s gambling rules.

It also adds to the club’s injury woes – he is one of eight first-team players currently out of action.

And it could also harm the Cameroon international’s chances of taking part in the African Cup of Nations, which begins in mid-January.
