Villarreal defender Ruben Semedo has had an appeal for bail denied as he awaits trial on charges which include attempted murder.

The 23-year-old was charged with attempted murder in February after he was arrested for kidnapping, assault and theft. He is being accused of tying up and beating a man, along with two other people, and then robbing his apartment. Semedo has denied the allegations.

Although Villarreal respected the presumption of innocence, the player has since been suspended without pay by the club until the legal process has finished.

Semedo has now been unsuccessful in his attempt to get bail.
