Kike García had been one of the bright spots in Espanyol's otherwise lackluster preseason: the 36-year-old striker had been the team's main attacking threat in the friendly matches played so far, scoring in three of the five played by the Catalan side. However, in the most recent match, a 3-3 draw against Middlesbrough, alarm bells rang when Kike was substituted in the 18th minute after feeling discomfort.
