In-form Bristol City striker, Antoine Semenyo has received Black Stars call-up ahead of World Cup playoff games against Nigeria.
This was confirmed by Bristol City manager, Nigel Pearson after the team’s championship game against West Brom.
“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.” Pearson said.
Semenyo has been in a blistering form for Bristol City this season in the English Championship hence his debut Black Stars invitation by coach Otto Addo.
Unfortunately, the 22-year old who was born and bred in England, sustained an injury in Bristol City game against West Brom in just six minutes into the game amd cannot be confirmed whether he will recover in time for World Cup playoff games.
Antoine Semenyo has scored 6 goals and provided 8 assists in 25 appearances in the Championship this season and was named player of the month of January.
With Semenyo’s Black Stars debut in jeopardy, other development indicate that Jordan Ayew could be unavailable for the Nigeria games after testing positive for coronavirus.
Ghana will host long-standing rival Nigeria at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium on March 25, 2022 for the first leg of the World Cup playoff before the reverse fixture on March 29 at the Mashood Abiola Sports Stadium in Abuja…
