Impact Garcia keeps inching his way towards a return, as he is now training in portions with the team after training individually last week following the hamstring issue he picked up.

Set for spell on sidelines Garcia has been diagnosed with a right hamstring injury, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Hamstring injuries are always tricky to come back from, but Garcia should be out for the next two or three weeks at the earliest, meaning the earliest he might return would be after the international break.

The club has yet to have the player undergo tests, so it is still up in the air when he will return. There is a decent chance it is only a minor issue, and he can take the field against Girona on Saturday, although, with the international break in two weeks, the club may want to preserve the player until then following the injury, making a return March 30 against Almeria much more likely.
