Antoine Semenyo ruled out of Ghana vs Nigeria clash
Ghana has been dealt a huge blow as promising forward Antoine Semenyo has been sidelined for the crunch game against Nigeria next week.
The English born striker with Ghanaian parents who plays for English Championship side Bristol City has been hit by an injury ahead of the game.
Semenyo’s call up may have to wait as the striker sustained an injury on Saturday whiles playing for his side against West Brom.
The 22 year old has been handed his debut call up by coach Otto Addo but an injury may delay his debut for Ghana.
Ghana will take on Nigeria in the first leg game of the 2022 World Cup on 25th March at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Semenyo who started the game for his side lasted just six minutes before he was taken off but his manager is unsure when he will return from the injury.
The attacker was born in England to Ghanaian parents but has agreed to switch nationality to play for Ghana despite being eligible to play for England but the injury may scupper his debut.
His call up was confirmed by Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson after their match last Saturday against WBA.
“I don’t know at the moment but obviously he’s upset at the moment because he’s been called up for the Ghana squad and he’s jarred his knee so we’ll have to see how he is. I can’t give you anymore than that at the moment”.
Antoine Semenyo has six goals and eight assists for Bristol City this season.
