Cameroon: Bryan Mbeumo Ruled Out for International Break Bryan Mbeumo will not be available for the Indomitable Lions during the upcoming international break, marking a significant setback for the team ahead of the FIFA Series 2026 tournament. Manchester United has confirmed that the striker will remain in England to continue his recovery, preventing him from joining the squad for matches against Australia and China. This decision was made in collaboration with his club, which prioritizes his long-term fitness over international commitments. The absence of Mbeumo, a key attacking force for Cameroon, poses a challenge for head coach David Pagou. The player has been instrumental in the team’s recent performances, and his exclusion leaves a gap in the squad’s offensive capabilities. With the Indomitable Lions set to face two formidable opponents in the FIFA Series, the team will need to adapt quickly to compensate for his absence. Manchester United’s decision reflects a cautious approach to Mbeumo’s rehabilitation. The club aims to ensure he returns to full fitness for club duties, particularly ahead of the league restart. This strategy mirrors similar choices made by other clubs, such as the withdrawal of Slovenian forward Benjamin Šeško from international duty to focus on his recovery. Mbeumo is expected to be ready for the match against Leeds on April 13, but his availability for the tournament remains uncertain. The ruling out of Mbeumo highlights the delicate balance between national team obligations and club priorities. While the Indomitable Lions must navigate this setback, the situation underscores the broader challenges teams face in managing player health and tournament readiness.#manchester_united #bryan_mbeumo #cameroon #indomitable_lions #fifa_series_2026
