La Liga powerhouse Barcelona has delivered positive news regarding the fitness of goalkeeper Joan García, allaying fears of a potential injury setback.
García had caused concern during Wednesday evening’s Champions League fixture where Barcelona comprehensively defeated Newcastle United. After making a crucial late save, the Spanish shot-stopper went to ground and subsequently limped off the field, appearing to suffer from a muscular issue.
Initial fears quickly spread among fans and staff regarding a possible extended period on the sidelines for the former Espanyol player.
However, subsequent medical evaluations have brought a collective sigh of relief to Hansi Flick and his coaching staff. According to an official statement released by Barcelona on their social media platforms today, Thursday:
“The medical tests carried out this morning on Joan García have ruled out any injury. The player will be available to Hansi Flick for the next match.”
This swift confirmation means García is cleared for immediate return to action, avoiding any interruption to his availability for upcoming fixtures.
