"Hansi Flick is set to be without another player on Sunday when Barcelona take on Celta Vigo in La Liga as Eric Garcia will miss out with a broken nose. Garcia suffered the injury late on in Barcelona's 3-3 draw against Club Brugge in the Champions League. He said afterwards he thought he'd suffered a broken nose and was taken to hospital after the game."
"Reporter Xavi Hernandez Navarro says Eric won't recover in time for Sunday's match, meaning Flick will likely have to go with Ronald Araujo and Pau Cubarsi as his central defenders. The two players appear to be Barca's only fit center halves are present as Andreas Christensen's fitness is again in doubt after he missed the trip to Club Brugge. Cubarsi has also been dealing with physical issues in recent weeks but was a late substitute in Belgium,"
Eric Garcia will miss Barcelona's match at Celta Vigo on Sunday after suffering a broken nose late in the 3-3 Champions League draw with Club Brugge and being taken to hospital. Reporter Xavi Hernandez Navarro says Garcia will not recover in time, so Hansi Flick will likely select Ronald Araujo and Pau Cubarsi as central defenders. Andreas Christensen's fitness remains doubtful after missing the trip to Belgium. Cubarsi has faced recent physical issues but appeared as a late substitute in Brugge, replacing Garcia for the final moments. Barcelona have gone nine games without a clean sheet, putting the defence under scrutiny.
