Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo has been forced to pull out of the squad after suffering a muscle strain in the final league game against Bournemouth. The player, a pillar of Cameroon&#8217;s attack, has opted to stay in England for medical treatment to ensure he is fit for future matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For his part, Carlos Baleba had already confirmed his withdrawal, adding an extra weight on the shoulders of Marc Brys, who must rethink his attacking strategy. Baleba&#8217;s absence was already a disappointment, but Mbeumo&#8217;s is likely to have an even greater impact, especially on the eve of the team&#8217;s departure for South Africa to face Namibia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8En plus de Carlos Baleba, Bryan Mbeumo et Zambo Anguissa devraient \u00eatre forfait pour ce rassemblement. <br><br>Zambo Anguissa va \u00eatre \u00e0 nouveau papa et Bryan Mbeumo a demand\u00e9 \u00e0 \u00eatre excus\u00e9 pour son indisponibilit\u00e9.\ud83e\udd81\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddf2 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dEHeiaqGr1\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/dEHeiaqGr1<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \ud835\udddd\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude02\ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude02\ud835\uddff\ud835\ude00 \ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfa\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude02\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddf6\ud835\ude00 \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddf2\ud83e\udd81 (@JoueursCMR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoueursCMR\/status\/1856104634596631024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">November 11, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Zambo Anguissa, a special case authorised by Marc Brys<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Franck Zambo Anguissa will not be making the trip to South Africa.
