Antoine Semenyo - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Wthdraws from Ghana duty due to ankle injury Semenyo won't represent Ghana in the 2027 AFCON Qualifiers during the upcoming international break after sustaining an ankle injury, according to Rabbi Adu Agyei of 3News.com.

Impact Semenyo was expected to play a big role for the Black Stars in their AFCON Qualifiers matches against Ivory Coast and Gambia, but the Manchester City winger will have to undergo tests to determine the severity of the injury instead. The international break lasts roughly three weeks, so if the injury isn't serious, Semenyo could recover in time to face Liverpool on Sunday, Oct. 11, meaning he wouldn't miss matches for the Citizens.

Earns three goal contributions Semenyo scored two goals and assisted once from two shots and three chances created in Sunday's 5-3 win versus Sunderland.

Impact Semenyo was on fire for City on Sunday as they took home the win in the thriller, earning three goal contributions. He would start with an assist in the 29th minute on Rayan Cherki's goal, then adding two goals of his own in the 43rd and 57th minutes. This is the forward's first time hitting the back of the net in league play this season. He is now up to five goal contributions in five starts this season.

Subdued Sunday Semenyo had one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Manchester United.

Impact Semenyo had a few chances to make some big chances in Sunday's derby but was mainly kept quiet, only recording one chance created and a cross. This does break his two-match streak with a goal contribution in league play, remaining with two assists this season but still in search of a goal.

Service machine Semenyo registered one shot (one on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 2-0 win versus FC Porto.

Impact Semenyo put in seven crosses, though only two were considered accurate. If the midfielder can improve his efficiency, he has a good chance to be among the assists against a Manchester United side which gave up 50 goals last season and has conceded six so far in 2026-27 across three EPL games.

Assists in win Semenyo assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-0 win against Coventry City.

Impact Semenyo set up Erling Haaland for the only goal during Saturday's win. He could have had so much more than that after creating three chances in a match that City controlled. You would always expect City to dominate this match, but the fact that Semenyo in particular looked so good is a great sign as City try and solidify an attack that was shaky at times last season.

Earns assist Semenyo assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Friday's 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace.

Impact Semenyo was much more active against Palace after a decently quiet opener against the Cherries, with the attacker recording two shots, three chances created and four crosses. However, his best moment came as an assist, finding Erling Haaland on a cross in the 17th minute. After notching his first assist, he will now be looking for a goal after bagging 17 last campaign.

AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE

One shot against former club Semenyo recorded one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 victory against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Semenyo started for City against his former club, likely to remain a big piece of the attack despite a new manager for the club. His efforts were not his best, though, as he would only earn a single shot on net while adding a cross. He was a source of 17 goals last season between his time with Bournemouth and City, a mark he could reach again if City remains a top team in the league.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Set for Premier League season Semenyo is back with Manchester City for pre-season training and eyes a return to a starting role in the 2026/27 season.

Impact Semenyo has returned to training following some time off after the World Cup run with Ghana, not having the best tournament after ending with zero goal contributions in his four appearances (four starts). He will now have to compete for starting time in the loaded City attack after a change in manager, having started in all 17 of his appearances while notching seven goals and one assist after his move to City last campaign. He sees a high output when on the field and appears to be set for starting time, although Phil Foden, Savinho, Jeremy Doku and potentially Jack Grealish (foot) are also all fighting for time on the flanks.

JULY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Gets three shots down Semenyo recorded three shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 loss against Colombia.

Impact Semenyo took three shots but failed to put any on target during Ghana's 1-0 Round of 32 loss to Colombia on Friday, leaving the winger unable to deliver the scoring threat he was expected to provide. Coming off a Premier League season with 17 goals in 37 matches for Manchester City, expectations were high, yet he ultimately finished the World Cup without a goal contribution, recording six shots (one on target), one chance created, four successful dribbles, and five aerials won, closing out a disappointing tournament for a player counted on to elevate Ghana's attack.

JULY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Friday Semenyo (ankle) is in the starting XI for Friday's match against Colombia.

Impact Semenyo always looked likely to make the team sheet Friday after some ankle issues, and that has come to fruition, as the attacker is listed in the starting XI. He has yet to put a shot on target this tournament and will likely be a key piece of the team if they want to advance, hoping to leave the tournament nearly unnoticed after such a great league season.

JULY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Will be ready for Colombia Semenyo (ankle) is expected to be available for the match against Colombia after showing improvement in recent days, according to Gary Al-Smith.

Impact Semenyo took a hit to his ankle that left him struggling with pain, but he has been working closely with the medical team in the days since and the discomfort has been easing. He has been moving freely without support, making him a likely option for the Colombia match.

Impact Semenyo managed to finish the match but was visibly in discomfort after picking up a minor ankle injury. Early indications suggest he should be available for Friday's Round of 32 meeting with Colombia, though he will likely remain on a day-to-day evaluation heading into the match. His form through the group stage has been underwhelming, maintaining an 84 percent pass accuracy with just three shots and eight duels won across the three matches.

Plays full game Semenyo registered one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus England.

Impact Semenyo worked tirelessly across the front line, recording 13 sprints and reaching a top speed of 35.1 km/h. However, he found little joy against England's defence, producing just one successful dribble from three attempts and managing only three completed passes. He spent most of his time in his own half and maintained Ghana's defensive structure.

Sparks stoppage-time winning goal Semenyo generated two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-0 win versus Panama.

Impact Semenyo was at the heart of Ghana's improved second-half performance, sparking the winning move in stoppage time by releasing Brandon Thomas-Asante down the left, whose low cross was eventually forced over the line by Caleb Yirenkyi for a dramatic 1-0 win over Panama. He helped transform Ghana's attack after a poor first half in which the team failed to register a shot until the 45th minute, with his movement and link-up play key to Ghana's territorial improvement after the break. Semenyo's influence on the winning goal underlines his importance to Ghana's attack as they look to build on this opening win in their next group match against England on June 23.

JUNE 18 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for World Cup Semenyo is headed to the World Cup for Ghana, where he should be a constant in the starting XI.

Impact Semenyo is headed to the second World Cup of his career, but he played only 19 minutes in Qatar. This is expected to be a far larger role for the winger, who has ascended to be one of the top wide attackers in Europe. He heads to the World Cup in line to be one of the most important parts of the Ghana attack, with 17 goals and four assists in the Premier League this season.
