Good Old Sausage by the Sea
Adingra has been nominated for player of the year, but it would appear to be the case that he's too old for qualify for young player of the year, with Minteh and his fellow nominees all 20 or younger.
[Albion] Yankuba Minteh SINGS on 5 year contract

Maybe he is fit but just can't get into our matchday squad? No I don't really think that's it, but given our current embarrassment of riches it IS a possibility - especially as, unlike Beleba, he is apparently fit for international duty.
Just a thought
As probably noted elsewhere, Minteh's Gambia can no longer make AFCON in Dec 2025/Jan 26.

Living the dream
Being completely BHAFC orientated - TFFT.
We've had a fair few injured on international duty and so not dicing with that particular possibility mid season is a blessing - not one that even needs a disguise, never mind the weeks he'd have been away in the middle of the season.
Indeed. Not only about those weeks either but players that live in Europe very often suffer from stomach bugs etc during and after the cup. I asked a Swedish-Gambian defender about it a few years ago and he said its difficult not to lose weight and energy when you're at the AFCON. There's actually quite a lot of African players in Europe who don't want to go to AFCON because they return sick and it fucks up their season.

We still have the potential to lose Baleba, Adingra and Sima as their respective nations have all qualified. The tournament starts just before Xmas next year so it could be a tough festive period.
Genuine question, how many of those three will still be with us by that point?

In an ideal world Adingra and Baleba. Would be nice to see what we could achieve with Carlos at the heart of our midfield for more than a season. Sima is more of an unknown given he’s always been out on loan.
