Antoine Semenyo - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Impact Semenyo arrives at the World Cup with enhanced status following his move to Manchester City, where he has established himself as one of the most exciting wide forwards in the Premier League, and is expected to be the main leader in Ghana's front line despite the minor calf concern. The coaching staff will monitor the situation but remain confident the strap is purely precautionary and that Semenyo will be fully available when Ghana's World Cup campaign gets underway.
