Manchester City Forward Antoine Semenyo Sidelined With Knee Injury
· Sports · Al Jazeera, Sportstar
Manchester City forward Antoine Semenyo has been ruled out for up to eight weeks after suffering a knee injury during a 3-2 home win over Ipswich Town. Manager Enzo Maresca confirmed that the 26-year-old Ghana international sustained a collateral knee injury rather than a muscle problem while appearing as a late substitute at the Etihad Stadium. Semenyo has recorded two goals and three assists in the Premier League this season. Meanwhile, striker Erling Haaland remains a doubt for Tuesday's Champions League home match against AEK Athens after taking a knock to his foot and ankle during stoppage time against Ipswich. Manchester City sits 17th in the Champions League table with three points from two matches following a 4-2 loss to Paris St Germain.
Why it matters
Semenyo's eight-week absence deprives Manchester City of a key attacking option during a congested domestic and European fixture schedule.
