Valencia are so far yet to make a public statement, but are operating on the presumption of innocence. Mir is expected to be processed and either released, released on bail, or kept in custody.
No further details about the incident have emerged. Mir was involved in Valencia’s 1-1 draw with Villarreal on the same night at Mestalla, playing the final 20 minutes of the clash as a substitute.
