NELSON SEMEDO NEWS

Continuing to improve fitness Semedo (hamstring) is making progress in his recovery but won't be ready to play versus Fulham on Saturday.

Impact Semedo started 23 of the club's first 25 matches last season before injuries sidelined limited him to just two outings down the stretch. In the meantime, Morgan Gibbs-White should continue to feature in the starting XI and could even maintain his place in the squad once Semedo is available to play.

Anticipated back after camp Semedo (hamstring) is expected to return to training when the team returns from a preseason camp in Portugal, according to team Doctor Rob Chakraverty.

Impact Semedo has still been recovering from a hamstring injury picked up at the end of April but doesn't have much further to go before he's completed his recovery. It's still not certain he'll return when the season starts Aug. 6 against Leeds United, but Semedo shouldn't be out for long. In this situation another injury-prone player in Jonny could get more minutes.

Pushing return to pitch Semedo (hamstring) is expected to miss the start of the season, reports Express & Star.

Impact Semedo has been working with Wolves despite rumors about a transfer elsewhere and for now, it seems like he'll stick with the club. He started 25 matches last season, but there's a chance that role is gone if Jonny can stay healthy. No matter, it could be a fluid situation given the injury history between the two and that Semedo is coming off hamstring surgery.

Out rest of season Semedo has confirmed via Instagram that he will miss the rest of the season with a hamstring injury suffered last weekend.

Impact It's another defensive injury for Wolves, as they close out the season. Fortunately for Wolves, Jonny is healthy and available to feature on the right flank the rest of the way. As for Semedo, it was a mostly successful campaign under the new manager outside of a couple injuries. He'll finish with no goals, one assist, 19 shots and 32 crosses from 25 starts, numbers that aren't much different from the prior campaign outside of him having 34 starts.

Impact Semedo had only just returned to the lineup last weekend after missing five games and the entirety of March with a hamstring injury, and it seems he may have re-aggravated the issue. Jonny replaced him on the right wing on Saturday and could do so again versus Chelsea next weekend if necessary.

Impact Semedo made his first appearance since February after recovering from a hamstring injury he suffered two months ago, and he already looks back in full form as he played well on both sides of the ball despite the narrow defeat to Burnley. He should remain in the XI for next weekend's clash against 11th-placed Brighton.

Might return Saturday Semedo (hamstring) could be an option for Saturday's matchup with Aston Villa.

Impact Semedo has been training with the first team which could open the door for him to get back onto the pitch for the first time since Feb. 24 versus Arsenal. Prior to his five-game absence, the midfielder had failed to register a shot on target in six consecutive contests while recording one assist, three shots and six crosses (one accurate).

Begins modified training Semedo (hamstring) has begun modified training this week, according to the team.

Impact Semedo is in line to be an option following the international break, but it's unlikely he'll be ready to start in his first match back. His return gives a boost to Wolves, who have had to force Jonny into more playing time than they would've liked in his return from a knee injury.

Facing one-month absence Semedo (hamstring) will be sidelined at least a month after manager Bruno Lage told reporters, "He'll be out for at least one month. Let's see how he goes, but that's the news for...

Impact In his last three outings, Semedo has failed to register a shot while generating just one cross (inaccurate) and two chances created. On the year, the midfielder has started all 23 of his appearances for the club in which he has recorded 30 crosses but only four accurate and just one assist.

Exits injured Thursday Semedo was forced off in the 61st minute of Thursday's match against Arsenal with a possible hamstring injury.

Impact Semedo could barely walk as he exited the pitch, which isn't a good sign for his status going forward. If indeed a hamstring injury, it's likely he'll be out the next month, if not longer. In his place, Jonny entered the pitch Thursday, his first appearance in almost a year because of a knee injury.

Assists in win Semedo provided one assist on one chance created during Saturday's 2-1 win over Brentford.

Impact Semedo did well on the right side of midfield getting forward consistently and earning an assist. The wing-back tends to bomb forward but can also register some stout defensive volume. He will be an interesting play in some tough matches against Arsenal and Tottenham after the international break.

JANUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Four tackles in draw Semedo made four tackles and two clearances during Saturday's one-all draw with Leeds.

Impact Semedo made four tackles, though he failed to get anything done offensively Saturday. The defender has started all but one match this season, and his role at right wing-back gives him some solid fantasy value. He will be in for a tough match Monday, against Everton.

Leads Wolves with six clearances Semedo took a shot on goal, blocked a shot, made two tackles (winning both) and six clearances during Sunday's 1-0 win over Southampton.

Impact Semedo helped Wolves keep a clean sheet from his right wing back role on Sunday. The wide man's six clearances were the team-high total in the win.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Active in loss Semedo created two chances from eight crosses and put two shots off target during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Tottenham.

Impact After missing the opener while working on his fitness, Semedo did well to get into an attacking rhythm during a free-flowing match. He'll need to keep up his crossing rate over the coming weeks as defense isn't always a strong suit, though that will be tested should he start in the next match against Manchester United.

AUGUST 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Playing with U23s Semedo is playing with the U23s Monday, working up his match fitness after missing a majority of the preseason in isolation.

Impact Semedo started 34 matches last season and is expected to move into the starting XI for the senior squad when ready. That may have to wait another match or two unless he's deemed fit for Sunday's game against Tottenham. His arrival would likely see either Ki-Jana Hoever or Fernando Marcal drop to the bench.

AUGUST 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

On bench against Belgium Semedo is listed on the bench for Sunday's Round of 16 match against Belgium.

Impact Semedo has been dealing with an undisclosed injury that limited his participation in training and as a result he won't start this game. His team may be the better for it, as although Semedo is talented offensively, his defensive work has been lacking and Diogo Dalot will get his chance to start.

Training on side Semedo (undisclosed) was training on the side Thursday ahead of Sunday's match against Belgium, reports The Portugal News.

Impact This doesn't seem like a serious issue, but Semedo asked to come off in the 79th minute of Wednesday's match against France. The hope is that he can get back in full training and be ready to start Sunday, and if not, there's a chance Nuno Mendes enters the XI immediately following his injury.

Sends two crosses in 2-2 draw Semedo had two crosses (none accurate), four tackles (three won) and one blocked shot in Wednesday's 2-2 draw to France.

Impact Semedo had a decent display here overall and turned in some individual peripheral numbers. He's still without a goal or an assist but with a clean sheet alongside two chances created, nine crosses and 13 tackles in his three matches he has been productive. Portugal have allowed six goals in last two matches however and facing Belgium in the Roound of 16 won't make things much better.

Launches six crosses Semedo recorded six crosses (zero accurate), seven tackles (three won) and two chances created in Portugal's 3-0 victory over Hungary on Tuesday.

Impact In most circumstances, six crosses would be an impressive performance but considering teammate Bruno Fernandes racked up 11 crosses, Semedo's form may go somewhat unnoticed. Still, the right-back should maintain his spot in the starting XI moving forward and figures to be a sneaky value play in fantasy contests.

Scores against Man Utd Semedo bagged a goal in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Manchester United.

Impact Semedo scored his first goal of the season in the final match of the campaign, as he took advantage of a pass from Fabio Silva to place the ball out of Dean Henderson's reach. He ends the season with one goal and one assist in 34 appearances, all of them as a starter.
