Bristol City's Antoine Semenyo will not join Ghana squad as Robins wait on full injury diagnosis

Antoine Semenyo has not joined up with the Ghana squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria after the Bristol City striker sustained a recurrence of a previous knee injury in Saturday’s 2-2 draw against West Brom.

Semenyo left the field in the sixth minute against the Baggies and, speaking after the game, Robins manager Nigel Pearson revealed the 22-year-old had “jarred his knee”. That was four days after he had suffered cramp in the closing stages of City’s 2-0 defeat at Barnsley.

Bristol Live understands that Semenyo was assessed on Sunday and wasn’t declared fit enough to play in either of the games against the Super Eagles on March 25 and 29, due to concerns over its potential seriousness. A full report into the extent of the injury is expected later today.
