# Wolves: Nelson Semedo ruled out for the season

**[Wolves](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) defender Nelson Semedo won’t play again this season because of a hamstring injury, according to expert Ben Dinnery.**

### The Lowdown: Semedo’s injury-plagued season

The right-back joined Wanderers from Barcelona back in 2020 but his second season at the club has been negatively affected by fitness issues.

Semedo has been limited to [25 Premier League starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/296363/Show/N%C3%A9lson-Semedo), which while still a healthy amount, would be comfortably higher if he had remained injury-free.

The Portuguese ace suffered a [second](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nelson-semedo/verletzungen/spieler/231572) hamstring problem in last weekend’s 3-0 defeat at home to Brighton and a key update has now emerged regarding the situation.

### The Latest: Defender’s campaign over

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/BenDinnery/status/1522171441516584964?s=20&t=Jrbu3LcvS5U4j7U4qgpo3w), Dinnery confirmed that Semedo’s season is over, meaning he will miss Wolves’ remaining [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) fixtures against Chelsea, Manchester City, Norwich City and Liverpool:

> “Having already lost Max Kilman for the remaining fixtures. Nelson Semedo quickly follows suit… after he was forced off against Brighton with a hamstring injury.”

### The Verdict: Season fizzling out

This is another blow to add to Max Kilman’s season-ending injury of his own – Semedo has been [described](https://thisisfutbol.com/2021/04/blogs/premier-league/wolves/wolves-tim-spiers-offers-huge-praise-for-nelson-semedo-for-his-display-v-fulham/) as ‘unbelievable’ by journalist Tim Spiers – as Wolves’ season threatens to peter out after such a promising campaign overall.

Bruno Lage’s men have a tough-looking final four matches, especially without two key defenders fit, and the aforementioned defeat to Brighton was worryingly lethargic.

There is still the lure of European football, however, which has to act as inspiration – they are three points behind seventh-placed West Ham with a game in hand -and the hope is that Wolves can re-capture their previous good form in the next few weeks.
