Bryan Mbeumo scored his 7^th campaign goal after converting a penalty before leaving the pitch with an injury.

“The things don’t look great. Bryan will have a scan later, but we don’t know how many weeks he won’t be able to play,” Brentford head coach Thomas Frank shared.

“I can tell you that Mbeumo will not be on the pitch for our match on the weekend vs. Sheffield United.”

The problem could jeopardize even his participation at the African Cup of Nations with Cameroon, as the championship will start in almost a month. His nation’s 1^st match at the tournament will be against Guinea on January 15^th.
