Antoine Semenyo will not participate in Ghana's upcoming international matches due to a swollen leg that requires medical treatment. The 26-year-old winger has been a key player for Manchester City this season, contributing two goals and three assists as the team started the Premier League campaign with a perfect record, winning all five of their matches so far.
Semenyo's two goals came in Manchester City's 5-3 victory over Sunderland on Sunday, where he played the entire match at the Etihad Stadium. He will now miss three matches during the international break, including two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Ivory Coast and Gambia, as well as a friendly game against Morocco.
Ghana's football association president, Kurt Okraku, said Semenyo has informed coach Carlos Quieroz about his condition, explaining that his leg is swollen and needs treatment. Okraku added that Semenyo is open to undergoing an MRI scan if necessary but stressed the importance of receiving proper medical care.
Semenyo is hopeful of recovering in time for Manchester City's next match against Liverpool on October 11. He has started all five Premier League games this season and would be expected to continue doing so if he is fit for the upcoming fixture. The winger has also praised the impact of new manager Enzo Maresca, despite the challenge of replacing the legendary Pep Guardiola. He believes the team is performing well, winning matches and showing continuous improvement.
