Charged with attempted manslaughter in court, and accused of assault, illegal possession of firearms, and robbery, Portuguese centre-back Rúben Semedo (23) has been suspended, work-wise and salary-wise, by Villarreal. Here's the note, translated from Spanish:
"Villarreal CF wants to show their dismay about the grave crimes the player Rúben Semedo has been charged with by the judge of the Court Number 6 of LlÃria. With due regard for presumption of innocence, the club decided to suspend the player's employment and salary, until a judgement on his disciplinary file is ruled".
