AFCON 2027
Antoine Semenyo withdraws from Ghana squad for AFCON qualifers
Antoine Semenyo has pulled out of the Ghana national team squad for the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia.
The 26-year-old’s withdrawal follows a wave of other players (Mohammed Kudus, Nathaniel Adjei, Jan Gyanmerah) who have all pulled out of the upcoming games.
Semenyo, who has established himself as a key attacking option for both club and country since his January 2026 move from Bournemouth, is understood to have stepped aside for precautionary or recovery reasons following a busy start to the Premier League season.
Semenyo’s withdrawal is set to affect Carlos Queiroz, who was expected to lead the attack considering his fine form.
