If there was any doubt as to if a long injury lay-off, and an inability to break back into the Bristol City starting XI had impacted Antoine Semenyo’s self-belief, then the image of him sharing a laugh with the president of the Ghana FA about the celebration dance he has planned if he scores against Brazil, should put an end to it.
Semenyo was one of the first to report to the Ghana camp in Le Havre for Friday night’s friendly against the early World Cup favourites, with considerable focus on him as one of several new recruits to Otto Addo’s squad in 2022, as the Black Stars have expanded their global scouting network.
Social media images of Semenyo among his teammates, delivering what appears to be some kind of initiation dance - not that there’s any reluctance in his moves - and general intrigue from the Ghanaian press means how he performs at the Stade Oceane will be scrutinised with interest.
