Single shot in loss Garcia registered one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Friday's 3-0 defeat versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Garcia took a shot and a corner during Friday's loss, but did little else during a comprehensive defeat. The team as a whole failed to put a single shot on goal, so it's hard to take much away from this match other than that SKC could hardly touch the ball going forward. There should be some more manageable matches ahead for Garcia.

Fit to start Friday Garcia (knee) is in the initial lineup for Friday's match against Vancouver Whitecaps.

Impact Garcia avoided a serious issue following some injury concerns before this game. He'll consequently retain his spot as part of a three-man midfield, leaving Jake Davis among the substitutes. Having failed to score but logged one assist in seven MLS appearances this year, Garcia could be reliable for playmaking output given his role as a set-piece taker.

Doubtful with knee issue Garcia is questionable for Friday's clash against Vancouver Whitecaps due to a knee issue, according to the MLS player status report.

Impact Garcia's status is uncertain, but if he can't go, Jake Davis will likely start in his place, and Magomed-Shapi Suleymanov will gain increased set-piece duties. The Spaniard's physical issues had been a recurring problem last season, but he has started in each of the first seven league games of 2026. He delivered one assist from 14 chances created over that period.
