Ghana Expected Lineup vs Colombia: Semenyo Update

Semenyo reopens the wide option

Semenyo’s possible return gives Ghana a familiar attacking structure rather than forcing a major reshuffle. The report expects Kamaldeen Sulemana to operate from the opposite flank, with Ayew again leading the line.

That balance matters because Ayew provides a central reference point while Semenyo and Sulemana offer pace and width. It also means Ghana can avoid moving senior players into unfamiliar roles to cover the forward position.

The report says Iñaki Williams was not used against Croatia last time out and is again expected to begin among the substitutes. His pace could therefore become a second-half option if Ghana need to change the tempo.

Partey keeps the midfield settled

Partey is expected to start alongside Elisha Owusu and Sibo, preserving the projected midfield structure. His involvement gives Ghana experience in the centre and allows the attacking players to retain their expected positions.

The selection forecast is built around role preservation: Partey anchors midfield, Ayew leads the attack and Semenyo returns without requiring a wider tactical repair.

Asare remains the main doubt

The report’s projected defensive unit includes Senaya, Adjetey, Luckassen and Mensah in front of Asare.

  • Goalkeeper: Benjamin Asare is expected to continue if Lawrence Ati Zigi remains unavailable.
  • Midfield: Thomas Partey, Elisha Owusu and Sibo are projected to start.
  • Front line: Kamaldeen Sulemana, Antoine Semenyo and Jordan Ayew are expected to lead.

The final team news will determine whether Ghana make one change or enter the Colombia tie with the full attacking plan intact. Semenyo’s inclusion and Ati Zigi’s status are the key storylines to watch before kick-off.
