Eder García turns decisive for Córdoba after Diarra’s injury

Eder García, Athletic’s midfield starter, has stepped up at Córdoba after Diarra’s injury, prompting a midfield reshuffle that has strengthened his partnership with Isma Ruiz. The player—Córdoba’s top scorer alongside Percan—already delivered from the start: he scored in matchday one at Burgos and assisted Diego Percan against Granada.

In the last three games, Eder García found the net in two of them. He opened the win versus Tenerife and struck again to help Córdoba get past Leganés, with Morata in the spotlight. Even at Elda he was close to adding a third, in a first half that could have become a rout.

Córdoba’s hope is that García can keep progressing with the same kind of offensive drive and pressure work that once came through the club via past Athletic prospects like Álex Sala and Requena, and that his role can keep growing toward professional football.
