Barcelona duo Nelson Semedo and Andre Gomes left out of Portugal’s World Cup squad

Barcelona duo Nelson Semedo and Andres Gomes are set for a summer off after they were left out of Portugal’s squad for the World Cup.

The absence of both players is a bit of a surprise but it at least ensures they will both get plenty of rest over the summer.

Semedo’s had a pretty mixed season since joining in the summer and has battled with Sergi Roberto for a place a right-back.

Gomes has featured rarely and it will be a bigger surprise if he is still at the club when the season starts in August.
