Manchester City Player to Face Former Club Bournemouth

Manchester City winger Antoine Semenyo will face his former club Bournemouth for the first time since completing a £64 million transfer in January. Semenyo said his former teammates have sent him messages ahead of the match. "I still speak to them every day," he said.

" The player added that the return would not feel unusual. "It won't be weird going back. It'll be good to see everyone again. And obviously, it's going to be a tough game," he said.

Bournemouth have recorded the longest unbeaten run among Europe's top five leagues with 16 matches without defeat. The club is aiming for Champions League qualification. Semenyo said he was pleased with his former team's performance. "They haven't [lost], I was the problem," he said.

He described the backheel flick as an improvised move he had practiced in training. "A couple of times," he said. " Semenyo has won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup since joining Manchester City in January. "It's been surreal. Everything's just happened so quickly," he said.
