Overview
- Bryan Mbeumo, a key player for Brentford and popular choice among Fantasy Premier League managers, suffered an ankle injury in a match against Brighton & Hove Albion, raising doubts about his participation in upcoming games.
- Mbeumo's injury could impact Brentford's season as he has been the team's focal point in the absence of Ivan Toney, who is serving an eight-month suspension.
- Potential replacements for Mbeumo in Fantasy Premier League include Anthony Gordon, Cole Palmer, and Raheem Sterling.
- Brentford is already dealing with injuries to other players including Mathias Jensen, Josh Dasilva, and Kevin Schade, leaving them with limited reliable attacking options.
- If Mbeumo's injury is serious, it could also affect his participation in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, where he is set to represent Cameroon.
