It's been over a month since Eric Garcia suffered a muscle injury during the warm-up for Barcelona's match against Sevilla, which the La Liga leaders won 5-1. He was expected to miss only 1-2 weeks, but despite the time frame more than doubling, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Garcia has been doing some individual work during the international break as he steps up his bid to return to action this weekend when Barcelona travel to take on Celta Vigo. He has yet to join the group, although Sport says the 24-year-old defender is expected to receive a medical green light in the coming days.
Garcia is an important selection player, especially now due to the absence of Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen. Flick will be determined to hit back for the trip to Balaidos as Barcelona look to return to glory after defeat at Real Sociedad last time out.
