Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has provided a positive update on Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo, who is expected to start for the Cherries in their upcoming Premier League fixture this weekend.
Speaking to the media ahead of the match, Iraola explained why Semenyo missed Ghana’s international duty during the break. “He is similar to Milos [Kerkez]; they are young and playing a lot of minutes. I think it’s kind of a tendonitis issue. This break was the only time he had to get treatment to try and solve a more chronic issue,” Iraola revealed.
Despite the setback, the manager is confident that Semenyo is fit to play. “I think they can continue playing with this. I hope it becomes better and better. I hope they can both play tomorrow,” he added.
Semenyo has been a vital part of Bournemouth’s attacking setup this season, using his pace and physicality to trouble defenses. His potential inclusion will boost the Cherries as they look to climb the Premier League table.
Fans will be eager to see how Semenyo performs after the break, as Bournemouth faces a critical fixture that could shape their season’s trajectory. Iraola’s optimism suggests that the young forward is ready to make an impact despite the lingering issue.
