Semenyo injury latest + why Munoz has withdrawn

Another day and another round of international break injuries to bring you – as well as news of a withdrawal for other reasons.

SEMENYO + KLUIVERT INJURIES

The two most-owned Fantasy defenders, Gabriel Magalhaes (£6.6m) and Marc Guehi (£5.1m), are already flagged with injuries.

Now, the most-selected Fantasy Premier League (FPL) midfielder also has a ‘75%’ flag next to his name.

Antoine Semenyo (£8.1m) has left the Ghana camp early ahead of Tuesday’s friendly with South Korea.

According to the Ghana Football Association, the Bournemouth winger has a “left anterior talo-fibula ligament sprain, which was aggravated during [Friday’s] game against Japan”.

That’s the ligament that connects the ankle to the shin bone, to you and me.

Ghana head coach Otto Addo didn’t mention the injury in his post-match presser.

Our next hope for more information, then, is Andoni Iraola’s pre-Gameweek 12 press conference later this week.

It doesn’t end there for the Cherries, with Justin Kluivert (£7.0m) pulling out of the Netherlands squad. No details of his injury have emerged.

Burnley’s Quilindschy Hartman (£4.0m) had earlier left the Dutch team due to illness.

WHY MUNOZ HAS WITHDRAWN

Another well-owned defender, Daniel Munoz (£5.7m), has followed Gabriel and Guehi in exiting from their national team squads.

This time, however, there’s no injury.

Munoz’s early departure from the Colombia camp is instead “for family reasons”.

    If you have 1FT and loose 0.3 on Gabriel and 0.4 on Semenyo, who would you transfer out

    If both of their Injuries are short term(1/2 weeks)
    1. Gabriel
    2. Semenyo
    3. Both with -4

    If both of their injuries are long term ( more than 3 weeks)
    A. Gabriel
    B. Semenyo
    C. Both with -4

      I only would sell Gabriel if your purchase price was 6m or 6.2m.

      Semenyo different story, he's been off the boil a while now. Good excuse to sell I think.

      Wait until Friday and see if more definitive news come out. If both are ruled out long term (a big if given Arteta's presser history), then B. Just on a very basic level a ligament is more serious than a muscle injury. And it's never a good idea to take a hit for a defender.

        “Just on a very basic level a ligament is more serious than a muscle injury.” - not true at all.

        Semenyo is an ankle sprain, depends on the mechanism but might only be a few days out.

      Genuine physio here.

      Probably a grade 1 if came back training so soon. Factor in the Ghana game is a friendly, he's probably back straight after international break as a sub.

      I don't think so, he didn't go with the national team to manage his niggle.

      I think ppl are conscious he has a niggle at all, so an option to move on soon. Give him the Burnley game though.

      Great week for City, Liverpool and Villa. And CHE play Arsenal. So you can jump on some Liverpool or City assets you wouldn't want to normally carry and jump off Arsenal/Chelsea for a week. Anyway, that's the thinking I suppose. Used mine awhile ago.

            Thanks. With the Gabriel news I could also go Gabriel to Senesi, Petrovic to Verburggen to avoid the double up and go Szobaszlai instead of Buendia for Liverpool attacking cover. Thoughts on if this is better (no Arsenal defence is against the template but their fixture run isn't the best over the next 4 anyways)

    Both Gabriel and Semenyo injuries look like your 3-6 weeks kinda time frame.

    Let's say three weeks from today, that's missing 12,13,14, back for 15.

    Six weeks is missing loads of games. 12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21 potentially.

    Because of FPL Towers flag protection system, I would guess you would lose about 0.3m on Gabriel and Semenyo over three weeks. Six weeks you'll be surprised if it's more than 0.4 or 0.5.

    Don't just sell immediately, weigh up the decision. If you had both at base, I reckon you'll get Gabriel back for the same price, 6.3m.

    Semenyo I can see costing 7.7m afterwards, so from 7m base you're only gonna get 7.5m and then pay 0.2m more to get him back.

    I think there's gonna be a strong argument for keeping both if you can park them. Especially Gabriel, you are going to want him back immediately.

      Semenyo's form has been poor even before his injury though. I dont see many keeping him for potential 4+ GWs. Ill sell for sure even though I have a lot of value tied up in him.

      I think there is even stronger argument to sell both and bank the money. Form after injury is often a question mark, not for Gabriel but certainly for Semenyo. Festive period is starting and they are too expensive to keep considering MU/Liv assets and Palmer.

    All these injuries make FH12 even more appealing to me, means you can go big on some prime fixtures while awaiting further news with something like:

    Mamardashvili
    De Ligt - Munoz - Lewis-Skelly
    Saka - Salah - Sarr - Mbeumo - Bruno
    Ekitike - Mateta

    Can't see more than a goal for Haaland at SJP, so decent time to go against the grain.
