The injury absence of Kylian Mbappé could well offer a new opportunity to Gonzalo García. Already highlighted during the Club World Cup thanks to his four goals, the 22-year-old striker has often taken advantage of the Frenchman’s physical problems to obtain playing time with the first team. A revealing detail: all his goals this season in the Madrid jersey were scored during Mbappé’s absences. Injured in the semi-tendinosus and forfeited for the reception of Espanyol this weekend, the former Parisian once again leaves a place to be taken in Alvaro Arbeloa’s offensive sector.
According to MarcaGonzalo García could even be started in a context where offensive solutions are reduced for Real Madrid, between the packages of Arda Güler and Rodrygo. The Madrid striker has not started a match since March 2 against Getafe and his role has been greatly reduced in recent weeks. However, despite his limited playing time at club, the young Spaniard continues to impress with the Espoirs selection, where he has scored six goals in just seven appearances.
