The 24-year-old limped off in Brentford's 2-1 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend and now is expected to miss at least three months.
Statement:
Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo will be sidelined for three months following an operation on his ankle.
Mbeumo, who has 10 goal contributions in 15 Premier League games this season, limped off during the Bees' 2-1 Premier League defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion earlier this month.
"[Mbeumo] will not participate in the Africa Cup of Nations," Brentford coach Thomas Frank said, as per the club's official website.
"Bryan is a positive guy. It's tough to take, but he will come back stronger. He has a very good mindset."
