Antoine Semenyo Injured, Out for Eight Weeks for City

Manchester City forward Antoine Semenyo is anticipated to be out for up to eight weeks following a knee injury sustained during the Premier League match against Ipswich Town on October 19, 2026. City manager Enzo Maresca confirmed the injury after medical scans revealed its extent.

Semenyo, who entered the game as a substitute in the 77th minute, was seen struggling before leaving the pitch. His expected return is around December, meaning he will miss several matches, notably the UEFA Champions League clash with Barcelona.

Maresca expressed relief that the injury was not as serious as initially feared and confirmed it was not muscular. Semenyo has been a significant contributor to the team's attacking play this season, recording two goals and three assists.

His absence will challenge City’s tactical options as they navigate a busy fixture schedule, particularly against teams that press aggressively.
