Could return Semedo (strain) could return for Wednesday's clash with Bournemouth, according to manager Gary O'Neil. "Nelson's looking better, which is good."
Impact Semedo has a chance of returning for Wednesday's match against Bournemouth. The defender missed out against Arsenal due to a minor calf strain and is trending towards playing even with the short week. The defender has been the preferred option at right-back whenever fit.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE
Quiet day against Brighton Semedo generated one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in Monday's 0-0 draw against Brighton.
Impact Semedo was not as efficient as he usually is on Monday, contributing most of his stats in the defense with his one tackle won and four clearances despite being one of the better wing-backs in the league at joining the attack, only notching one cross in the draw. The defender looks to be having one of the best seasons of his career on paper and will hope to improve on that moving forward, as he continues to be a great two-way player with his one assist on 10 chances created and 44 crosses in the attack to go along with his 19 interceptions, 46 tackles and 49 clearances in the defense.

Continues as regular starter Semedo has only missed the starting XI in one match this season, starting in the club's past 11 matches.
Impact Semedo is now in his fourth straight season as a regular starter for Wolverhampton, appearing in 114 matches while starting in 109 of those. This is continuing in the club's current campaign, as he only has missed one start all season, and that was only due to a short-term injury he had to deal with. His contribution out of the defense has been decent as usual, notching 19 interceptions, 43 crosses, 45 tackles and 45 clearances to go along with his one assist. He only has one goal contribution this season with an assist, which matches his total from each of the last three seasons, but he will still hope to earn more as he looks to improve upon his decent season.
JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE
Assist against Arsenal Semedo assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Arsenal.
Impact Semedo earned his first assist of the season Saturday, finding Matheus Cunha in the 88th minute for the club's only goal of the match.

He also had a decent game in the defense, registering five tackles (four won) and two clearances.

Regular sight in defense this season Semedo has only missed one game this season due to yellow card accumulation, registering 29 tackles (17 won), 28 clearances and 23 crosses (four accurate).
Impact Semedo looks set to be the regular starter for Wolves for a fourth season in a row, starting in all 11 matches he has been eligible for this campaign. The 30-year-old has seemed to lose a little bit of his attacking edge, being a bit more productive in the defense, averaging 2.5 tackles, one interception and 2.5 clearances per game. The right-back shouldn't fall out of his starting role this season, as fellow defenders Matt Doherty, Hugo Bueno and Jonny will have to make a huge jump to surpass Semedo's talents.
NOVEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Set for return Semedo has completed his one-game suspension and is eligible to play against Newcastle United on Saturday.
Impact A steady presence at the back for the Wolves, Semedo should return to the starting lineup right away following his yellow-card suspension, as he had started every one of the team's previous matches, regardless if it was as a full-back or wing-back. Matt Doherty should head back to the bench as a result.

Suspended Saturday Semedo is suspended for Saturday's clash with Bournemouth due to yellow card accumulation.
Impact Semedo has raced to five yellow cards in just eight matches and will now spend one match on the sideline due to the suspension. Matt Doherty is the like-for-like replacement on the right side of the defense either in a back four or a back three. Doherty has been a defensively-minded full-back just the same as Semedo with neither defender offering too much going forward.

Struggling offensively Semedo has yet to get on the scoresheet in eight Premier League matches this season.
Impact Semedo has started and played all but six minutes in the Premier League, but has failed to get on the scoresheet. The defender has been left as a more defensive option, even with the recent switch to a 3-4-3 formation pushing him to the midfield. Semedo simply isn't an offensive option, and he isn't being asked to bomb forward and join the attack in most matches.
OCTOBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Leads team in tackles Semedo has registered 17 tackles (nine accurate), 10 clearances and six interceptions through four matches this season.
Impact Semedo has been the routine starter for Wolves at right back over the past three seasons and appears to be in that role again after starting the first four games of the 2023/24 season. He has been decent on both sides of the ball thus far, contributing 17 tackles, 10 clearances and six interceptions in the defense to go along with two shots, two chances created and eight crosses in the attack. Semedo is a decent contributor in fantasy with his smooth playmaking out of the back but his one struggle is notching goal contributions, only having four in the past three seasons.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Extends Wolves contract Semedo has extended his contract with Wolverhampton, signing on for the next two seasons.
Impact Semedo really found his role this season and has been one of the few regulars in the squad under Julen Lopetegui, which led to this new contract. He doesn't get forward a ton, as seen in his six shots and 11 chances created, but Wolves aren't really in need of an attacking full-back given their style of play.

Late test against Aston Villa Semedo (knee) began training Thursday after resting this week and could be a late call for Saturday's match against Aston Villa. "He [Semedo] has had a knee problem, it's a very da...
Impact This is fairly good news for Semedo that his knee injury is nothing serious, however the team will be cautious to play him too early to prevent any further damage. This means that Toti Gomes will likely get the start, unless Semedo makes a huge recovery before Saturday. The defender has started in the last 22 games in a row, maintaining healthy all year with an average of 2.1 tackles and two clearances a contest thus far.
