Impact Mumin suffered a season-ending knee injury and is still in his recovery period. The defender started jogging again in recent weeks but is still at least one month away from making his return. If everything goes as planned, he could be back in late October. That said, his absence will not impact the starting XI since Rayo Vallecano signed Luiz Felipe over the summer, and if the newcomer remains fit, he will be a regular starter in the backline.
