Carlos Baleba

Baleba (undisclosed) is no longer injured since he played 77 minutes in Friday's 2-0 loss against Morocco and is now heading back to Brighton after being eliminated from the AFCON with Cameroon.

Baleba (undisclosed) was forced off injured at halftime during Wednesday's 1-0 victory against Gabon at AFCON, according to The Argus.

Carlos Baleba recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Baleba has started in six of his seven appearances this season for 355 minutes of play.

Baleba was substituted at halftime of Saturday's 2-2 draw against Tottenham due to tiredness, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in a press conference. "He just felt tired. I think that everyone has to understand with Carlos that he's a very young player and he had unbelievable development in the last season and everyone expects him to keep pushing, keep going the same like it was last year, but he's a 20-year-old player. He needs time. His development is not linear and at the moment he seems to be in a small down, but I think it's very important to understand that he's not a machine. He's a very young, talented player. He needs help, he needs support from us. He needs the right environment. He tried everything today. He pushed but he only had 45 minutes in his body. And that's something we have to accept."
