"Barcelona have received another major boost ahead of their La Liga clash against Elche, as Mundo Deportivo reports that goalkeeper Joan Garcia's return is not being ruled out. The summer signing from Espanyol, who suffered a tear in the internal meniscus of his left knee during a match against Real Oviedo in September, is showing faster-than-expected recovery progress, giving the club renewed optimism about his comeback."
"Garcia underwent surgery on September 27, with an estimated recovery time of four to six weeks. However, the goalkeeper has made remarkable progress in his rehabilitation, and his condition will be reassessed once the team returns to training on Wednesday. Although Barcelona are unlikely to take unnecessary risks, his availability for the Elche fixture is not completely ruled out, which is a positive sign for Hansi Flick and his staff."
Joan Garcia suffered a tear in the internal meniscus of his left knee during a match against Real Oviedo in September and underwent surgery on September 27 with an estimated recovery time of four to six weeks. He has shown faster-than-expected rehabilitation progress and will have his condition reassessed when the team returns to training on Wednesday. Barcelona are unlikely to take unnecessary risks, but Garcia's availability for the Elche fixture is not completely ruled out. Garcia's imminent return to group training would strengthen the club's goalkeeping options. Andreas Christensen is expected to return for Sunday's match after a gastrointestinal issue. Dani Olmo remains sidelined on an individual recovery programme, while Robert Lewandowski has resumed training after recovering from a muscle tear.
