Rubén García
OSA
Unlucky to miss out on assist
Garcia generated two shots (zero on goal), seven crosses (four accurate) and six corners in Sunday's 2-0 win over Racing Santander.
Analysis: Garcia was solid in service, delivering four accurate crosses in seven attempts and adding six corners. He should have better statistical luck against Sevilla if he can maintain this volume. Sevilla have allowed 16 goals already through nine LaLiga matches this season.
Bags assist
Garcia assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 5-2 loss against Betis.
Analysis: Garcia was finally able to bag a goal contribution this season after eight appearances (six starts), with the attacking finding Ante Budimir in the 51st minute. That said, he will now start to hunt down his tally from last season, earning seven, while his career-high for a season is 10.
Solid match despite loss
Garcia had two shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Espanyol.
Analysis: Garcia would stay active for most of his 60 minutes on the field Saturday, with the attacker notching a chance created, two shots and three crosses. He still is in search of his first goal contribution through five appearances (four starts) this season, notching seven in his 35 appearances (28 starts) last campaign.
Stuffs stat sheet
Garcia recorded three shots (two on goal), seven crosses (five accurate) and six corners in Monday's 0-0 draw versus Levante.
Analysis: Garcia was involved heavily in the offensive third but his teammates were unable to finish off his setup moves. The forward was also unlucky to go up against a locked in Levante goalkeeper in Mathew Ryan. Garcia should have success against Celta Vigo if he maintains this level of production, as the side did concede 48 times in LaLiga a season ago.
Training normally
Garcia has trained normally with the squad over several consecutive sessions, the club announced.
Analysis: Garcia's injury, an ankle sprain suffered in last season's finale that avoided any bone damage, now appears to be fully resolved. He closed out last season with two goals and five assists across 35 appearances, including 28 starts. His consistent participation in training points to a clean bill of health ahead of the new campaign. Garcia is expected to be fully available as Osasuna's preseason preparations continue.
Suffers ankle injury
Garcia suffered an ankle injury but has avoided bone damage, according to his club.
Analysis: Garcia went down in the season finale and now looks to be set for some recovery this offseason, suffering from an ankle injury. The good news is that no bone damage has been detected, as it appears to be only a sprain or ligament injury. He will then look to recover ahead of the next campaign, ending the 2025/26 season with two goals and five assists in 35 appearances (28 starts).
