Antoine Semenyo is an injury doubt for Bournemouth’s Premier League match against West Ham on Saturday.
The 25-year-old has been in outstanding form for Bournemouth this season with six goals and three assists in 11 Premier League appearances so far.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, sit ninth in the Premier League table having lost back-to-back games against Manchester City and Aston Villa before the international break.
Semenyo was handed a start in Ghana’s 2-0 defeat to Japan last Friday but was forced off after 56 minutes. He then withdrew from the squad and did not feature at all in the 1-0 defeat to South Korea on Tuesday.
Ghana confirmed that Semenyo had aggravated a ligament sprain in his left ankle during their loss against Japan and Bournemouth manager, Andoni Iraola, has revealed that he could be without the winger for his side’s game at home to West Ham this weekend.

‘Antoine is different. Justin and Ben have muscle injuries and Antoine’s was not something new that happened when he was there,’ Iraola said on Friday.
‘He was already dealing with an ankle injury. I cannot tell you if he’s going to play tomorrow or not. We will have to see.
‘We have a couple of situations with the ones who have arrived late, we have to see if they are comfortable to help us tomorrow.’
Iraola also revealed that Bournemouth will be without Justin Kluivert due to a hip problem, while Ben Gannon-Doak could undergo surgery after suffering a hamstring injury during Scotland’s dramatic late win against Denmark on Tuesday night.
‘We have had a bad international break,’ Iraola said.
‘We had confirmed injuries of Justin, an abductor muscle injury, so Justin is going to be out.
‘Ben Doak also, a hamstring injury, it’s a bad one. He will be out for some time.
‘Today we have a consultation with a surgeon to see if it’s something that has to go through surgery, or we can go more conservative. But it’s a big hamstring injury. So Ben will be out for some months, it’s really bad news.
‘We also have others coming with knocks, kind of normal things, we’ll see today how they train because we train this evening.
‘Then we had an incident with Adam Smith and Tyler Adams, because they both have been in concussion protocol, so they are available for the game, but with these two weeks, they had to go through all the process of concussion that is quite meticulous and has affected their training.’
