Antoine Semenyo has withdrawn from Ghana’s national football squad ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The 26-year-old forward cited a lingering ankle injury as the reason for his absence. His exit comes just days before the crucial match against Côte d’Ivoire, adding to the list of players missing from the squad.
Semenyo, who was expected to feature in the September-October international window, has been sidelined as he continues his recovery. The Ghana Football Association confirmed his withdrawal, noting that he remains committed to the team’s campaign. Other players, including Mohammed Kudus and Nathaniel Adjei, have also been absent for similar reasons.
The absence of key players could impact Ghana’s preparations for the qualifiers. The team will need to adjust its strategy and roster to ensure competitiveness. Semenyo’s injury highlights the challenges of maintaining form during a busy international schedule.
The match against Côte d’Ivoire is a significant test for Ghana, with both teams vying for top spot in their group. Semenyo’s potential return remains uncertain, and his absence may influence the team’s approach to the tournament.
