Spanish midfielder Edu Garcia will be available for selection for ATK Mohun Bagan's final ISL league fixture against Mumbai City FC.

The player is set to return to action and train with the club ahead of the match. Garcia picked up an injury on January 21 in the match against Chennaiyin FC after a challenge from Memo Moura. He had no other option but to walk off the pitch after sustaining the injury.

Garcia's return to the ATK Mohun Bagan side will bolster their midfield and could play a vital role for the Mariners in the playoffs. Garcia is likely to start the game against Mumbai City FC in the absence of Tiri who is suspended for a game.

The 30-year-old midfielder has ten appearances for ATK Mohun Bagan in the ongoing edition of the ISL and has found the net once. His only goal came against FC Goa on January 17 at the Fatorda Stadium.
