Raul Garcia - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Scores goal in loss Garcia scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Monday's 3-1 loss to Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Garcia was used from kickoff this time because Ante Budimir had barely recovered from a thigh issue. The young striker proved to be up to the challenge in the 27th minute with a great piece of ball control after which he fired into the top corner of the near post. Despite the goal, he'll most likely resume bench duty sooner or later, settling in as second choice behind Budimir.

Scores brace against Atletico Madrid Garcia scored two goals to go with four shots (three on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 4-1 victory over Atletico Madrid.

Nets opening goal Garcia scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Athletic.

Impact Garcia opened up the scoring Saturday, as he would go on to find the back of the net in the 40th minute off of a Johan Mojica assist.

Takes four shots in loss Garcia had four shots (two on target) and drew two fouls during Sunday's 3-0 loss against Granada.

Impact Garcia made his second consecutive start and was his team's most dangerous player up front, having their best chances but wasn't able to break his scoring drought that has now been extended to 12 games. With his team having close to none relegation risk, Garcia could remain in the lineup to see some developmental playing time until the end of the campaign.

Assist in start Garcia assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Since his March demotion from Osasuna's starting XI, Garcia continued to be a regular reserve until Saturday, when he was added back with Ante Budimir out recovering from a significant chest injury. By logging the assist to Osasuna's only goal Saturday, he is expected to continue being the team's primary forward until Budimir recovers, which may take a while.

On bench to face Alaves Garcia (undisclosed) is on the bench for Monday's match against Alaves.

Impact Garcia will avoid any time on the sidelines after being limited in training this week due to an undisclosed issue, as he is on the bench to face Alaves. The forward will most likely remain on the bench moving forward despite starting in four of the club's past seven matches, as he has only gained the start in seven of his 23 appearances this season.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in training Garcia was limited from Wednesday's training session, having been held to individual training ahead of Monday's match against Alaves.

Impact Garcia looks to be the newest member of the club to join the injury list, appearing to have picked up an undisclosed injury during training this week. This could be a brutal turn of events for the club, as Ante Budimir is already out with a nose issue, and Jose Arnaiz is questionable with a biceps injury, with no other forward playing a single minute this season besides Garcia, Budimir and Arnaiz. With only three days until the match, Garcia will hope to find a rise in fitness to be fit for the contest, as he is currently their top option to start at forward, with Iker Benito being the most likely replacement if any of the other three cannot compete.

Shoots twice off the bench Raul Garcia generated two shots (zero on goal) in Wednesday's 1-0 loss versus Barcelona.

Impact Garcia rattled the woodwork with one of his two strikes but was unable to produce much in an attacking sense in his 22-minute cameo. He had started the prior two games for Osasuna but appears to be locked into a consistent role coming off the bench when Osasuna need a goal, which limits his opportunities to produce.

Opens the scoring early Garcia scored a goal while taking two shots (both on goal), crossing twice inaccurately and creating a chance during Sunday's 3-2 win over Getafe.

Impact Garcia found the back of the net after just nine minutes to open the scoring in the match while leading Osasuna with two shots. The forward is in good form at the moment as he's scored all three of his La Liga goals in his last four matches with Sunday being his first start since October.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Scores again Raul Garcia scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Thursday's 3-2 loss against Mallorca.

Impact Garcia scored for the second consecutive game, as he had a shot from the center of the box, early in second half stoppage time. This marked his eighth consecutive match as a substitute, but he has put together an efficient streak with two goals on two shots, over the last two games. This also marked just the fourth time on the season that he completed more than five passes in a match.

Heads home winning goal Raul Garcia scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 win against Rayo Vallecano. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 96th...

Impact The striker came off the bench but was the unsung hero for Osasuna, drilling home the game-winning goal in the 95th minute with a perfect header from the edge of the six-yard box. This was his first goal of the campaign, but given he hasn't started a match since Oct. 1, he shouldn't carry a lot of upside unless he finds a way to become a regular starter in the near future.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes three shots Raul Garcia recorded three shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 2-0 victory against Granada.

Impact Garcia was only used as a substitute on Friday but still found a way to contribute in his 10 minutes on the pitch, taking three shots and creating one chance. The forward has struggled to find time on the pitch this season, only starting twice, and should only be a player you expect to be used in a rotational role late into games.

OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Osasuna Osasuna have completed the signing of Garcia from Real Betis on Thursday, the club announced.

Impact Garcia was always going to have a tough time to see regular first-team minutes at Betis since he was set to compete with two experienced players such as Borja Iglesias and Willian Jose. Garcia was close to joining Alaves, but instead he'll add depth upfront to an Osasuna squad that will play in the UEFA Europa Conference League next season.
