Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has provided an injury update on Ghana international Antoine Semenyo following the side’s victory over Ipswich Town in the English Premier League.
The Black Stars attacker made a substitute appearance as the Sky Blues secured a 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town in the highly competitive clash at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Semenyo replaced Belgian-Ghanaian forward Jeremy Doku in the 77th minute.
However, the victory was overshadowed by injury concerns involving several key players, including Semenyo, Erling Haaland, Nico O’Reilly, Matheus Nunes and Mateo Kovacic.
Speaking after the match, Maresca expressed hope that Semenyo’s injury was not a serious one.
“Hopefully they [Semenyo and Haaland] are good, but they are big players for us.
“Same for any team losing their best two players. It’s difficult for everyone, but we’ll see what’s happened and hopefully find a solution,” Maresca told Sky Sports after the game.
The former Chelsea manager provided further details on the players’ conditions while speaking to the club’s media.
“I asked all of them. Mateo said he was okay, Matheus said he was okay, Erling said he was also okay. Nico, it’s still his back. The only one we need to wait on was Antoine, and we will see,” he said.
The Ghana international has continued to make an impact for the Premier League giants this season, scoring two goals and providing three assists in nine appearances across competitions.
