"Following his nasty collision during the game against Club Brugge that resulted in a broken nose, Eric Garcia has had to accessorise himself by wearing a protective mask ever since. The former Man City star notably 'debuted' with the mask in the entertaining win over Celta Vigo just before the November international break. Now, as Barcelona look to resume their campaign, Garcia is expected to continue wearing the protective mask in the coming matches."
"According to AS, Eric Garcia has yet to fully recover from his broken nose and, as such, he will remain masked for at least the next three matches. That means the defender is set to continue with the mask against Athletic Club this weekend, which marks Barcelona's highly anticipated return to Camp Nou. Garcia will continue to wear the mask in games against Chelsea and Alaves as well, meaning he will remain fully masked for the entirety of November."
"The versatile defender plans to take off the mask on December 2, when Barcelona lock horns with league rivals Atletico Madrid. It must be noted that Garcia's involvement in Barcelona's upcoming matches is virtually secured, especially amid concerns over Jules Kounde's form. The French international has appeared quite erratic this season, which has led Hansi Flick to put his faith on Garcia, who has operated in both right-back and centre-back roles this season."
Eric Garcia suffered a broken nose after a collision with Club Brugge and has worn a protective mask since. He first appeared with the mask in the win over Celta Vigo before the November international break. Garcia has not fully recovered and will remain masked for at least the next three matches, covering fixtures against Athletic Club, Chelsea and Alaves throughout November. The defender plans to remove the mask on December 2 for the match against Atletico Madrid. Garcia's selection is likely as Jules Kounde's inconsistent form has encouraged Hansi Flick to favor Garcia. Barcelona are discussing a contract renewal to secure his long-term future.
