Villarreal defender Ruben Semedo has been charged with attempted murder.
It has emerged that Spanish courts charged the 23-year-old with assault, robbery, illegal detention, and illegal possession of firearms.
The victim says he was locked in a room inside the 23-year old centre-back's house, before being beaten, tied up with a rope so that he could not escape and even had bullets fired in his direction, though they did not hit him.

The Valencia High Court of Justice has since made the following statement: 'Magistrate court number 6 in Lliria [Valencia] has ordered Villarreal player Ruben Semedo to be held without bail but with visiting rights.
'The judge has accused the Villarreal player of attempted murder, assault, kidnap, causing bodily harm, threats and unlawful possession of a firearm and robbery.'
A report from Las Provincias in Spain add that the victim had an ankle injury and multiple bruises upon his arrival at the police station in Valencia, while he also claims that while he was imprisoned, the suspects stole 24,000 euros and valuables from his apartment.

Semedo's arrest is the third time he has been detained by police since joining Villarreal in the summer, following attacking a man with a glass bottle after an incident in a nightclub, as well as threatening someone with a gun.
Newcastle were heavily linked with the Portugal Under 21 international in the summer transfer window but something tells us they did the right thing in not signing him.

What a bizarre story.
