Goalkeeper Joan Garcia has been admitted to the hospital of the Barcelona team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
A tear in the medial meniscus of his left knee has been diagnosed. Garcia will undergo surgery on Saturday.
According to the Barcelona club, it will take four to six weeks for the player to fully recover, depending on his condition. Therefore, in the coming days, head coach Hans-Dieter Flick will not be able to field Garcia as goalkeeper.
It is likely that Wojciech Szczęsny will temporarily guard Barcelona's goal. The next match in the Spanish La Liga will take place on Sunday, September 28, at home against Real Sociedad.
This match is of great importance for the team. Garcia's post-surgery recovery process is being closely monitored.
The team will continue to support him.
