Latest bail rejection keeps Semedo in prison LaLiga - Villarreal Bail denied on Thursday

Ruben Semedo was denied bail after a fresh appeal on Thursday, leaving him to remain in jail until he faces trial for alleged crimes including attempted murder.

Villarreal have suspended the centre-back without pay during the proceedings, which involve Semedo being charged with the aforementioned crime along with assault, threats, kidnapping, illegal possession of weapons, and armed robbery.

The Superior Court of Justice for Valencia confirmed that the judge hearing Semedo's plea via video link did not believe the player's version of events and considered there to be a persistent risk that he could harm the victim or his family members, if allowed out on bail.

It was the 23-year-old and his lawyers who requested this latest hearing, as he remains in Picassent prison to the south of Valencia until his date in court.
