Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui claims Nelson Semedo must improve his defending.

The right-back has been improving his form in recent weeks, especially in the attacking half of the pitch.

While Lopetegui did acknowledge the limitations of the former Barcelona man, he also praised his recent efforts.

Per the Express and Star, the head coach said: “We are happy with Nelson's performance.

“His commitment is very big in his daily work.

“He wants to improve, so we try to help him. At the moment he's playing very well.

“I think he's defending well, which is very important. In elite football, first of all you have to defend well and after he is to do more, because he's a good player.

“That's why it's very important to defend well.

“Not one player can live in the past. Not one coach too, it's the same.

“Football is only about the present and in the present, he is a good player that is working in a good way with a very good commitment and he has to continue doing the same."
