Espanyol Can Use Kike García's Wages for New Signings

Espanyol officially announced yesterday that forward Kike García will undergo surgery for a hamstring injury in his right leg, keeping him sidelined for at least four months. This extended absence allows the club to utilize a portion of the player's salary under LaLiga's long-term injury regulations. sport-newz.biz

The regulation permits both clubs exceeding the salary limit and those operating within the 1/1 rule to access funds from players on extended injury leaves, potentially enabling Espanyol to strengthen their squad during García's recovery period.
