Mbeumo out, starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for friendly today - Fresh signing left out of potential debut

Cunha, for instance, has scored 27 league goals across the last two campaigns, while Mbeumo - who did endure a spell out with injury in 2023/24 - netted 29 times in that same period, with the pair only just ahead of Jackson's return of 24.
