The Barcelona defender was hurt on Saturday

Barcelona have been hit with another injury blow as Nelson Semedo was stretchered off during Portugal’s Euro 2020 clash with Serbia on Tuesday.

The right-back started the game but was forced off after 65 minutes with what looked like a serious injury.

It remains to be seen how serious the injury is but it comes at a bad time with the club currently without Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and Ousmane Dembele due to injury.

Semedo has cemented his place as the club’s first choice right-back this season and started all three La Liga games so far.

If he is set for a spell on the sidelines then Moussa Wague may be handed a chance to impress in the first team, or Ernesto Valverde could opt to use Sergi Roberto back in defence.
