Rayo Vallecano forward Raul de Tomas reappears two weeks after disappearing from action

Rayo Vallecano forward Raul de Tomas was again seen in public over the weekend after two months where he has been out of action and out of sight. The 30-year-old, Rayo’s record signing, has barely played this season.

De Tomas did not feature at the beginning of the season, warming the bench under manager Inigo Perez, as was the case towards the end of last season, playing just 90 minutes in a Copa del Rey clash against lower league Villamuriel. Despite grabbing a brace, he has not played again since that outing in October.

After ten straight games on the bench, de Tomas dropped out of the squad entirely at the start of December, and has not returned to it for the last 14 La Liga games. ‘RDT’ has been out injured, but recently posted on Instagram ‘There is less to go now’ in his training kit. President Raul Martin Presa explained that ‘it was a common injury, but not a physical one’.
