Rafa Mir among nine Sevilla absentees as pre-season begins | OneFootball

Sevilla began pre-season on Monday under Luis García Plaza, with nine absentees including Rafa Mir.

According to Superdeporte, the available squad passed last week's physical tests and the coach has scheduled double sessions throughout the week.

With the transfer market active, numerous arrivals and departures are expected at the Sánchez Pizjuán. New signings Guridi, Juan Iglesias and Sangante trained in the first session at the club's complex.

Injuries, World Cup duty and off-field matters accounted for the nine who missed out: Alfon, Vlachodimos, Nianzou, Suazo, Sow, Vargas, Ejuke, Akor Adams and Rafa Mir.

The Murcia-born forward enjoyed a good season on loan at Elche CF last term and completed routine medical checks on Sunday.

The club are seeking a permanent exit for him due to off-field issues, despite his current contract.
