Est. Return 5/7/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Garcia recorded four goals and five assists across 36 appearances (28 starts) during the 2024/25 season. He's been an extremely consistent player for the Vallecas side in recent seasons and has notched at least seven scoring contributions in each of his last four campaigns. His role as one of the team's go-to options in the attack shouldn't change in 2025/26, and if he stays healthy, he should play a prominent role once again having played at least 2,400 minutes in each of the past four seasons.
Set for three weeks out
Garcia suffered a left adductor tear in Athens and is expected to miss around three weeks, with the plan being to have him back for the UEFA Conference League return leg against Strasbourg on May 7, according to Pablo Villa of Radio Marca.
ANALYSIS
Garcia has been one of Rayo's most important attacking contributors this season with nine goal contributions across 31 appearances, making the confirmed muscle tear a significant blow for coach Inigo Perez's side. The three-week recovery timeline rules him out of the immediate La Liga fixtures and the UEFA Conference League first leg, but the club is clearly prioritizing having him available for the second leg against Strasbourg in what could be a decisive moment in their European run. Carlos Martin is expected to take on a larger role on the left flank in his absence.
