Why Antoine Semenyo is absent from Bournemouth squad v West Ham, amid Liverpool transfer interest
"Antoine Semenyo was a notable absence from the Bournemouth squad in their game against West Ham United. The attacker ranked at no.10 in FourFourTwo's list of the best left wingers in the world right now has been the Cherries' key man this season, netting six goals and providing three assists. But he wasn't even available to take a place on the bench in his side's return to Premier League action this weekend."
"Semenyo linked up with Ghana over the international break, but was forced to leave the camp due to an ankle issue, believed to have worsened after appearing against Japan. Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola confirmed in his pre-match press conference that the 25-year-old was suffering with the issue before the November break, and it transpired that it was serious enough to keep him out of the matchday squad entirely against the Hammers."
"His absence comes in the same week that BBC Sport revealed the contract Semenyo signed in the summer contains a 65m release clause that can be activated in the first two weeks in January. Journalist Fabrizio Romano subsequently confirmed that Liverpool are exploring the structure of a potential move for the Bournemouth star, despite breaking the British transfer record twice in the summer for Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak."
