[Saba Sports News] According to reports from British media, under the new regulations from the FA, Manchester City’s new signing Antoine Semenyo is eligible to play in the League Cup semi-final against Newcastle. Last August, Semenyo came on as a substitute in the League Cup match where Bournemouth lost 0-2 to Brentford. Following that match, Bournemouth was eliminated from the tournament. However, according to the FA’s new regulations, a player can represent two different clubs in the League Cup during a single season.
Previously, Semenyo joined Manchester City for a transfer fee of £64 million, making his debut in the FA Cup third round against Exeter City, where he also scored his first goal. This season, Semenyo has been in outstanding form, appearing 16 times in the Premier League, scoring 8 goals, and providing 3 assists, contributing to a total of 11 goals. At 25 years old, he has become one of the top attacking players in the Premier League. It’s also worth mentioning that Max Alleyne, who has been recalled, is eligible to play in this match due to serious injury issues in Manchester City’s defense.
