Lack of communication regarding Mbumo's injury

The player is unavailable for the Indomitable Lions' two friendlies against Australia and China this international break. The concern and confusion is due to the lack of updates on his current condition.
He was expected to arrive at Sydney's Kingsford Smith International Airport and be assessed by national team staff. However, 'Contrary to all expectations, he never came.'

Flying to Sydney for assessment by Cameroon medical staff would be a great trip at very little expense. The match against China is also in Australia and it is no surprise that Manchester United have left out their player.
