Barcelona defender at risk of missing Juventus clash

Barcelona defender at risk of missing Juventus clash

Barcelona could miss right-back Nelson Semedo against Juventus, if the summer signing gets a yellow card in the Catalan’s Champions League game against Olympiacos.

The game against the Old Lady on the 22nd of November is likely to prove vital in determining who finished top of Group D in the Champions League and Semedo missing the game could prove to be important for Ernesto Valverde’s men from Spain.

Semedo saw yellow in the first game against Juventus and against Sporting Lisbon in Lisbon too and seeing a third one against the Greek side at Athens will rule him out from the Juventus game due to suspension.

Semedo has enjoyed the start to the season with his new club since joining from Benfica this past summer for a 30 million euros plus add-ons fee. He has made six La Liga appearances, also appearing in a couple of Champions League games already.
