The bad boy Rafinha is again missing from training

The Brazilian full back Rafinha skipped  the Schalke opening practice on Wednesday. "I do not know where he is. I have to get information about what has happened," said coach Felix Magath. 

Rafinha is notorious with his lack of discipline. In 2008 he had to pay a six-figure sum as he joined Brazil Olympic football team in Beijing without a permission. In February 2009 he also payed a fine after he had punched in the face Stanislav Sestak from Bochum. 

Rafinha's compatriot Marcelo Bordon was missing too, as he will join his team in the training camp in Spain on second January .
 
Ze Roberto II is also expected to join Schalke in Spain as his deal end in smoke as the money offered by the Brazilian teams were not enough for the Royal Blues Board.

Magath welcomed the two new additions in the squad  Reginiussen, (Norwegian national team defender taken form Tromso IL) and the promosing attacker Bogdan Müller.
