Rafa Mir

Mir is out for the time being due to a quadriceps injury, according to his club.

Mir scored a goal in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Ejea in the Copa del Rey.

Mir (quadriceps) is eyeing a return against Ejea in Copa Del Ray action on Dec. 4, according to manager Ruben Baraja. "Rafa is doing well in his evolution, today he has completed training and we will see his feeling and when he may be available. You have to complete training. If it goes well, [SD Ejea] could be a an option."

Mir (quadriceps) is still working on his recovery as he is expected to remain out for the time being. "He [Mir] is undergoing a recovery process, and there is usually a gap between the evolution of the injury and his feelings. He feels good, his recovery time is good and, little by little, he will be reintroduced into the group" said manager Ruben Baraja.

Mir (quadriceps/personal) will not return to the squad in the coming weeks, manager Ruben Baraja told media during the pre-match press conference before Monday's match against Las Palmas. "He's doing fine, but when you go through something like he's gone through, you need more. I reckon he'll return to team training in a couple weeks, and we hope he can be available for the second half of the season."
