Joan Garcia back in Barça training three weeks on from knee injury

📰 Barça goalkeeper Joan Garcia is back in team training after a knee injury, putting a return against Getafe on 10 October within reach. 📌 Key points 🧤 Joan Garcia partially rejoined team training on 7 October. 🦵 He hurt his right knee against Racing on 16 September and missed around three weeks. 🩻 Tests showed bone marrow oedema in his right knee. 🔄 Dominik Livaković deputised in the 3-1 win at Sevilla. 📅 If all goes well he could start against Getafe at home on 10 October. 📝 What happened 🦵 Joan Garcia slipped on the wet turf while fetching the ball during the first half against Racing Santander on 16 September and hurt his right knee. He was taken off at half-time as a precaution and tests revealed bone marrow oedema. 🔄 In the next game at Sevilla, Livaković was picked ahead of Wojciech Szczęsny for his Barça debut, and Barcelona won 3-1. 🧤 As the international break came to an end on 7 October, Joan Garcia completed part of the session with his team-mates. Sports Mole reports he should be able to start if there are no setbacks before Saturday. 🩺 Frenkie de Jong also took part in some of the group session that day, while Raphinha continued to train separately. Barça intend to take a cautious approach with Joan Garcia and assess how he responds in the next sessions. 📊 By the numbers • Injured: 16 September v Racing • Time out: around three weeks • Stand-in's debut: 3-1 win at Sevilla 🔭 Why it matters Barça have won all seven league games and lead Real Madrid by six points. Having their first-choice goalkeeper back would be a big boost in an October that includes El Clásico on 25 October. Barcelona host Getafe on 10 October in their first league game after the break.
