AFC Bournemouth manager, Andoni Iraola, says Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo is ready to play in Bournemouth’s game against West Ham United.
He said this in a pre game presser ahead of The Cherries English Premier League tie against The Hammers on Thursday, February 1 at 19:30 GMT.
Semenyo participated in the 2023 AFCON in Cote D’Ivoire with Ghana’s Black Stars but missed out on qualifying to the round of 16 stage after Ghana failed to win any of three games at the group stage.
Despite being available for selection for Bournemouth’s FA Cup tie against Swansea City, Semenyo wasn’t used as Bournemouth scored a 5-0 win.
However, Iraola confirmed Semenyo is ready to feature against West Ham saying, “Antoine has been training with us as normal and we didn’t want to use him in the FA Cup.”
“He’d just landed without sleeping, he was available if we needed him for a short period but lucky for us that wasn’t necessary – he’s ready to go.”
Semenyo has three goals and two assists in 16 EPL games this season.
