Rayo Vallecano president Raul Martin Presa has assured that they are aware of Raul de Tomas’ current situation after the former Benfica, Espanyol and Real Madrid striker appeared to spiral out of control this week.

De Tomas, 30, has not trained with Rayo for several days and Relevo reports that WhatsApps sent to him by teammates did not reach his phone and he also did not answer calls. He will not be part of the Copa del Rey squad against Unionistas de Salamanca tonight. Coach Inigo Perez confirmed on Tuesday that he will be out and will be looked after by the club’s medical service.

The same outlet states that he was also not in the club’s facilities this week, but Presa told El Chiringuito that de Tomas “has not disappeared but is being monitored as a matter of course by the club’s medical service.” It is not a physical one Injury, but it’s a common injury, I won’t say what, the doctor knows.”

Since returning to the club from Espanyol, ‘RDT’ has struggled to make an impact and has barely been seen on the pitch this season. But before making his La Liga debut, Perez’s only contribution was a brace and 90 minutes in the final round of the Copa del Rey against Villamuriel.
