Impact Garcia has made a quick recovery after suffering an apparent hamstring injury during the 5-2 defeat against Real Betis, a match in which he scored one of Osasuna's two goals before being substituted in the 79th minute. His return to full training suggests the issue was relatively minor, allowing him to remain in contention for a starting role against Racing Santander. The forward's availability provides an important boost fornew coach Jagoba Arrasate, who also welcomes back Kike Barja and Raul Moro after their respective muscular problems. With all three attackers available again, Osasuna will have greater flexibility in its offensive rotations, although Garcia's recent injury could still influence his workload Sunday.

Impact Garcia was forced off in the 79th minute of Sunday's 5-2 La Liga defeat against Real Betis due to an apparent hamstring injury, a match in which he scored one of the team's two goals. However, his presence with the rest of the group in training suggests the forward should be available moving forward. His involvement in training over the next few days, and the absence of potential setbacks, will determine his full availability for Sunday. However, since Osasuna are missing Aimar Oroz (undisclosed), Kike Barja (undisclosed) and Raul Moro (hamstring), having Garcia available will be huge for the team's attacking depth.

The severity of Garcia's setback remains unclear, and further assessments will be needed to determine whether he faces a spell on the sidelines.
