With most of the squad away with their countries, numbers were small. 🦵 The best news was Eric Garcia. He was ruled out of the Spain squad after feeling discomfort in his knee during the warm-up for the Nations League match against England at Wembley, but trained normally with the group. 🧤 Alongside him on the pitch were Wojciech Szczęsny, Gavi, Gerard Martín, Gabriel Jesus, Brian Fariñas and Alejandro Balde. 🏥 Frenkie de Jong, Joan Garcia and Raphinha did separate work because of knocks. According to Yahoo Sports, De Jong is expected to rejoin group training this week. 📊 By the numbers • Players training on the pitch: 7 • Working separately: 3 (De Jong, Joan Garcia, Raphinha) • According to Yahoo Sports, Barça won all 8 competitive games before the break 👀 What to watch 🛡️ The back line — Eric Garcia's return widens Flick's defensive options. Who starts against Getafe will also depend on how the internationals come back. 🩺 Injury management — De Jong, Joan Garcia and Raphinha are working separately. Flick is keen to avoid further setbacks before a big October. ✈️ The returning internationals — Players finishing the final Nations League round will rejoin through the week. With little preparation time, rotation could be a factor. 🔭 Why it matters Barça host Getafe at Camp Nou on Saturday 10 October and face Real Madrid in El Clásico on the 25th. To keep their lead at the top, they need to pick up points without fresh injuries straight after the break.
