Rafa Mir - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Not fit to play yet Mir (hamstring) is still not an option for Elche despite resuming team training in recent weeks, coach Eder Sarabia said in the press conference, according to Pasion Franjiverde.

Impact Mir has been back in team training since a few weeks but didn't fully recover yet from the hamstring injury that sidelined him since early January. The striker will hope to recover ahead of next week's fixture since he was an undisputed starter in the frontline for the Franjiverdes prior to the setback, therefore his absence forces changes in the frontline, with Alvaro Rodriguez dealing with a larger role while he is out.

Impact Mir is still working on his return and was spotted back in team training on Tuesday, suggesting he is getting even more closer to make his return to the match squad.

Impact Mir missed the last two games due to an undisclosed injury but is a late call for Friday's derby against Levante after training hard this week towards his return.

Until that happens, Alvaro Rodriguez is expected to get a larger role in attack.

Out vs. Valencia Mir is out for Saturday's game against Valencia, according to Pablo Lopez Riquelme of MARCA.

Impact Elche will be without a key player upfront in Mir, who has netted six goals across 18 appearances (15 starts) in the current campaign. This means Alvaro Rodriguez will probably get the nod upfront alongside Grady Diangana.

Unimpressive effort in defeat Mir registered two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Mallorca.

Impact Mir failed to create a scoring streak following his brace in the previous week versus Girona, as none of his shots really challenged the rivals' goal this time. He did put a ball into the six-yard box that led to an own goal. A change of formation caused him to play as a lone center-forward Saturday, with both Andre Silva and Alvaro Rodriguez appearing among the substitutes. In any case, Mir logged more than 85 minutes in seven of the last eight league matches, producing three goals in that period.
