Xabi Alonso has not yet decided on Gonzalo Garcia's inclusion in Real Madrid's first-team squad for the upcoming season. Garcia has performed notably at the Club World Cup, scoring three goals, including a decisive one against Juventus, along with one assist. His contributions have been essential as he is the only player to have directly contributed to a goal in every match for his team. Garcia's high shot conversion rate and consistent performance have prompted Alonso to consider his potential role, especially with the return of Kylian Mbappe.
Only Michael Olise has directly contributed to more goals at the competition, while Angel Di Maria leads the tournament's scoring charts.
Garcia's shot conversion rate of 33.3% is also the joint-highest from players who have taken at least nine shots, alongside Kenan Yildiz.
Alonso mentioned, 'Today we are thinking about the World Cup. There will be time. I knew him well... I trusted him and he is earning that trust.'
Garcia has scored three goals at the Club World Cup, including the winner against Juventus, and registered one assist.
