Cityzens' Antoine Semenyo Out Until December with Injury

Antoine Semenyo, the Ghanaian winger for Cityzens, has suffered a knee injury that will keep him out of action until December. Head coach Enzo Maresca disclosed the injury during a press conference on Monday, ahead of the team's UCL Matchday 3 fixture against AEK Athens.

Following scans, the medical team initially feared a more severe injury but later assessed that Semenyo would likely return in about eight weeks. Maresca stated, “The only one that will be out for probably eight weeks is Antoine,” and emphasized the importance of Semenyo's recovery, noting that his return would be like having a new player in terms of energy.

Additionally, Maresca mentioned that the availability of top marksman Erling Haaland for the upcoming match would be evaluated, as Haaland had sustained a knock in a previous game against Ipswich.
