Story summary

Manchester City received mixed news about injuries ahead of their upcoming Champions League match against AEK Athens. While star striker Antoine Semenyo will be out until December with a "collateral injury," which Maresca described as less severe than initially feared, the team's other forward, Erling Haaland, is fit to play despite sustaining a minor knock during their 3-2 victory over Ipswich. Semenyo, who joined from Bournemouth in January, has contributed two goals and three assists in seven Premier League games this season. Maresca expressed relief that the injury might not be as serious but acknowledged losing Semenyo is still a significant blow to the team's lineup.
