Marvin Senaya returns to football after 121 days

Ghanaian defender Marvin Senaya has made his first appearance in 121 days, coming off the bench for AJ Auxerre during their 5-1 defeat to Strasbourg. This marks his return to competitive action following a hamstring injury sustained during Ghana’s 2026 FIFA World Cup match against Colombia on July 3.

Senaya underwent surgery in Paris and has since been working toward full match fitness. His 27-minute appearance in Ligue 1 serves as a milestone in his recovery process, providing a defensive option for Auxerre and a potential boost for the Ghanaian national team.
