Rafinha Alcantara's motivating message

The Brazilian player appeared on social media

He has gone seven months out and will not come back until 2018

Rafinha Alcantara continues his recovery process. It's been seven months since his last game, in Granada last season where he was injured. Little more than a month ago he had new knee surgery and he will not play again until 2018. Too many months out, although the Brazilian is still positive.

In a new message on social media he showed his evolution. "Scars make you stonger," he wrote. 

Rafinha is hoping to return in 2018 although he will find it hard to break into Valverde's schemes.
