Nursing is filled. After Gavi’s decline was known in the last week for the next five months, Barça loses Joan García and Raphinha.
Joan García, Barcelona goalkeeper, will be on a decrease of four to six weeks due to a break in the internal meniscus of the left knee that occurred in Oviedo. The Barça entity reported in a statement from the accident and the period of Low of the goalkeeper, which this Saturday will be subjected to arthroscopy by Dr. Carles Monllau. He was injured in the play in which he rejected a shot of Lucas when the score was 1-2 and the forecasts suggest that he would not be reinstated until the end of October or beginning of November and, therefore, he will not play Wednesday against the PSG and will hardly be ready on the 26th to face Madrid at the Bernabéu.
“It is the style we want. The error is a consequence of our style, we want all the games to play, but it is something that can always happen. Joan is a fantastic goalkeeper and we all make mistakes. It is the pillar of our defense,” Flick defended the Catalan goalkeeper, after his pifia in the Oviedo goal in Carlos Tartiere.
The goalkeeper’s loss, signed in Espanyol summer, will be occupied by Wojciech Szczęsny. Ter Stegen, captain of the team, is also in the infirmary. The third goalkeeper will surely be Eder Aller, because Diego Kochen, international for the United States, disputes the Chilean U-20 World Cup. To the absence of Joan García we must also add that of Raphinha, who suffers an injury in the middle third of the femoral biceps of the right thigh and will cause low for about three weeks, until after the break by the selections, on October 18. Sin Raphinha, Hansi Flick must hurry the return of Lamine Yamal, still without medical discharge, although already recovered from his pubalgia. “Lamine is better, this week has trained with the rest of her teammates,” they say from the Barcelona Sports City.
Bucket has also joined training and could be available to receive the Real Sociedad on Sunday in Montjuïc. At least, Flick recovers two players after losing Gavi, Raphinha and Joan García. In addition, in the nursing of Barcelona are Ter Stegen and Fermín López.
