Fran Garcia
27-Year-Old
Betis
La Liga
Poised to retain starting role
Garcia played the full 90 minutes in Spain's 3-1 win over the Czech Republic before remaining an unused substitute against Croatia in his first international appearances since returning to the squad.
ANALYSIS
Garcia returns to Betis with a relatively light workload after totaling only 90 minutes during the international break. The left-back had already started five of the club's seven La Liga matches before joining Spain and now has a clearer path to maintaining his place in the XI with Junior Firpo expected to miss several weeks due to an adductor injury. Garcia should therefore be well positioned to start Saturday against Osasuna after also gaining match fitness during his first Spain appearance in three years.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Future remains uncertain
Garcia's future at Real Madrid after the end of the current season is uncertain, according to Diario AS.
ANALYSIS
Garcia is among several players who might leave Real Madrid in the summer, although it's worth mentioning that the potential coaching changes might also affect his future. Garcia has seen consistent minutes at left-back due to the injury issues that have affected Ferland Mendy all season long, but his displays have not convinced the board to hand him a new deal yet.
