Impact Garcia faces several weeks on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury during the closing stages of the first half against Celta Vigo. The winger experienced discomfort following an attacking move and was unable to return for the second half, with Giorgi Tsitaishvili replacing him at the interval. Subsequent examinations confirmed a muscle tear that is expected to keep him unavailable for approximately four weeks, ruling him out of Sunday's La Liga encounter against Real Sociedad and potentially several fixtures following the November international break. His absence represents a significant setback for Rayo Vallecano, particularly after the winger scored three goals across the opening 11 league matches of the campaign. Garcia has remained an important attacking option under coach Benat San Jose, providing pace and a direct threat from wide positions. Tsitaishvili could benefit from increased playing time during his absence, while Garcia will focus on rehabilitation with a potential return in early December.
