"The concern began late in the game against Newcastle, when Garcia signalled to the bench in the 80th minute. The incident occurred as he stretched to block a shot from Harvey Barnes. Although he completed the action, his reaction immediately suggested discomfort. As he got back up, Garcia was visibly in pain, repeatedly reaching down to his left calf."
"Following today's tests, Joan Garcia has been cleared with no injury and will be available for selection. It comes as a significant relief for Hansi Flick, especially at a point in the season where momentum is building and squad stability is crucial."
Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia caused concern during the Newcastle United match when he signaled discomfort in the 80th minute while blocking a shot. He appeared to injure his left calf and was substituted, with Wojciech Szczesny entering the match. However, medical tests conducted Thursday morning revealed no injury, clearing Garcia for selection. The clearance provides significant relief for manager Hansi Flick during a crucial period of the season when squad stability and momentum are essential for the club's performance.
