Valencia midfielder Pepelu expresses frustration with Mir following arrest

Mir was arrested over the weekend for sexual assault but was released shortly after. Mir maintains his innocence and denies any wrongdoing.

In response, Pepelu lamented: “It is a lack of respect for the club and the fans that cannot be tolerated. It’s a difficult situation for him.

"And I hope and wish that he has learned and that obviously it will never happen again.

“We are not in a situation for this kind of thing. The coach has made it clear to him, and the club too. He is aware that he has done things very badly.”
