Semenyo Sent Home From Ghana Duty as Statement Issued Ahead of Liverpool Match
The winger will miss three Ghana matches after telling coach Carlos Queiroz his swollen leg needs treatment, officials said.
- Manchester City forward Antoine Semenyo has withdrawn from Ghana's squad for Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against the Ivory Coast and Gambia due to a swollen leg requiring treatment.
- Semenyo sustained the injury during Sunday's 5-3 victory over Sunderland, where he played the full 90 minutes and scored twice, though he admitted feeling "battered and bruised."
- Ghana FA president Kurt Okraku told Asempa FM that officials chose not to risk the player, stating, "As a leader, if you want to know your players... you'd have to ask yourself whether you'd allow Antoine to continue."
- Semenyo will miss the entire international break, including a friendly against Morocco, while aiming to return for Manchester City's Premier League clash against Liverpool at Anfield on October 11.
- The forward has been in impressive form this season under manager Enzo Maresca, scoring twice and providing three assists in Manchester City's perfect start, making his absence a significant tactical challenge.
