Starts in loss Semedo won two-of-two tackles during Saturday's 3-0 loss to Chelsea.

With Jonny a lock to start in a variety of roles, Semedo doesn't have tremendous competition to threaten his position either.

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.

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.

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.

No matter, it could be a fluid situation given the injury history between the two and that Semedo is coming off hamstring surgery.

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.

In his place, Jonny entered the pitch Thursday, his first appearance in almost a year because of a knee injury.
