Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo will be sidelined for three months and miss the Africa Cup of Nations for Cameroon after having an operation on his ankle, the Premier League club’s manager Thomas Frank said on Friday.

“(Mbeumo) will not participate in the Africa Cup of Nations,” Frank said.

“Bryan is a positive guy. It’s tough to take, but he will come back stronger. He has a very good mindset.

“Almost from game one we’ve struggled a little bit with injuries. But we still have a good group of players who are willing to fight,” he said.

“We need to look at it in January, but we never rush into things. We try to be clever and take calm and sensible decisions. We will not take a player if we don’t think it’s for the longer term.

“Maybe this time a loan, but it depends on how things go over the next three or four weeks.”
