Barcelona faced concerns about Eric Garcia's availability after he missed the 1-1 draw with Newcastle United due to muscular discomfort. However, medical tests confirmed no serious injury occurred. The decision to exclude him was a precautionary measure by manager Flick, as Garcia had been experiencing muscle overload. With other defenders already dealing with issues, the club prioritized his recovery. Garcia is not ruled out for the Sevilla match, though his participation depends on his condition before the game. Flick will determine whether to start him or use him as a substitute, potentially giving him rest before Newcastle's second leg.
