Semedo cleared of concussion to boost Barcelona ahead of Copa del Rey final

Barcelona have confirmed Nelson Semedo did not suffer a concussion in their last La Liga game of the season against Getafe.

Semedo was taken to hospital with a head injury that appeared to have put his chances of being fit for Saturday's Copa del Rey final in doubt.

But Barcelona confirmed on Monday that right-back Semedo has been cleared following tests and released from a hospital in Bilbao.

The 25-year-old has been a key performer for the Blaugrana this season, racking up 44 appearances across all competitions.

"Semedo has passed the tests for his head injury and has been discharged from hospital," a club statement said.
