RUBEN SEMEDO'S agent has claimed the player is the victim of a 'set-up'.
While Spanish daily claim a gun was discovered in a night-club he has in his own personal basement.
However, Catia Balde — Semedo's representative — insists: "Ruben was the victim of a set-up.
"His family and I are by his side to help him overcome this moment. Everything is very bad.
"The player's career has been stained. Let's hope it's a case that has no serious consequences.

"It's bad for a young athlete who was just starting a promising career."
Semedo, along with two other men, has allegedly been arrested for tying up and beating a man — and holding him in his villa against his will on February 12.
And this isn't the first time he has been in trouble this campaign as, earlier in the season, he was investigated for threatening behaviour with a gun in a Valencia bar.
Semedo joined Villarreal from Sporting Lisbon in the summer and is considered one of the best prospects in Portuguese football.
