Manchester City Striker Antoine Semenyo Ruled Out for Eight Weeks Due to Injury

Premier League leaders Manchester City have suffered a major blow after Antoine Semenyo was sidelined for eight weeks with an injury sustained during their 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town. Head coach Enzo Maresca confirmed the setback during his pre-match press conference.

Although the club initially feared a torn cruciate ligament, medical examinations ruled out the worst-case scenario for the forward, who joined last winter for 72 million euros. His absence, following 10 official appearances with two goals and three assists this season, will force the coaching staff to readjust their attacking options for a crucial stretch of the campaign.
