Bristol City striker Antoine Semenyo has been ruled out for up to three months with a shin injury, Bristol Live understands, meaning the Robins forward will miss all of pre-season and the first set of games of the 2022/23 campaign.
Semenyo returned home early from Ghana duty this month with the problem, having made his debut for the Black Stars against Madagascar on June 1. Initially the injury was only thought to be minor but having experienced further pain, and with fears over his participation for the summer, the 22-year-old visited a specialist this week.
Unfortunately, tests have confirmed the shin problem is severe and Semenyo is unlikely to return to training until the start of September, although there is some confidence that head of medical Dave Rennie and his team can reduce the timescale slightly, depending on how the injury reacts over the course of his rehab.
