Barcelona are optimistic that Eric Garcia has not suffered any serious knee injury after he withdrew from the Spain squad with a knee injury.
Garcia missed Saturday’s Nations League win over England after feeling discomfort in the warm-up and has since pulled out of the remaining games over the international break.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Garcia has since returned to Barcelona for more medical checks which confirmed he is OK and should be fit for Barcelona’s next game against Getafe.
The decision
to release Garcia from the Spain squad was a precautionary move and he now has time to rest and recover before Barcelona’s season continues on October 10th.
The news will be welcomed at Barcelona ahead of some key fixtures in October and particularly with Andreas Christensen currently sidelined through injury.
Barcelona are due to face Getafe, Real Betis and Real Madrid in La Liga next month and also take on Galatasaray and PSG in the Champions League.
