Fran Garcia set to miss the Madrid derby

Real Madrid will face Atlético de Madrid with a question mark on the availability of Fran Garcia. The left back suffered a blow during the last training session, causing his ankle to swell and forcing him to be bandaged. The 24-year-old is set to undergo a medical test on Sunday morning to assess his fitness to play in the game.

Real Madrid head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, was planning to keep García on the bench as a substitute for the game. However, if Rüdiger is unable to play, the Spaniard could potentially occupy the left-back position while Mendy moves to the left-footed central position with Nacho.

Los Blancos faces a tough opponent in Atlético de Madrid, who have scored ten goals in the last three games against the Whites. If García cannot play, it will be an additional problem for the Italian coach in the defensive line.

Fran García has been an important player for the white club this season, participating in 22 games and contributing five assists. The player proved his worth in the recent victories against Almería and Las Palmas. Fans and coaches alike will anxiously await the results of the medical test to determine García’s availability for the game.
