Ghana international Antoine Semenyo is expected to spend around eight weeks out of action, with Enzo Maresca confirming that the forward’s immediate priority is to recover from his injury.
Maresca indicated that the absence could last approximately two months, meaning Semenyo faces a period of rehabilitation before he can return to competitive football.
“It could be eight weeks. So now, in this moment, the most important thing for him is to recover.”
The update will be a concern for Ghana, as Semenyo’s availability is important to the Black Stars’ plans. His recovery timeline could affect his involvement in upcoming club and international fixtures, depending on the progress he makes during rehabilitation.
Manchester City are set to miss the services of the Ghanaian attacker for a significant period, with the injury representing a setback for both the club and the Black Stars. Reports indicate that Semenyo sustained a knee injury after coming on as a substitute against Ipswich Town.
Semenyo had entered the game in the 77th minute, replacing Jeremy Doku, during City’s 3-2 victory. His condition became a concern after he was seen limping at full-time.
The expected eight-week absence could rule him out of several important fixtures as Manchester City navigate their domestic and European commitments. For Ghana, his recovery will also be closely watched ahead of upcoming international assignments.
Maresca’s message is clear: Semenyo’s recovery must come first before any return-to-action timeline is confirmed.
