The injury worries at FC Barcelona continue to grow. On Friday, the Catalans announced the failures of offensive star Raphinha (28) and goalkeeper access Joan García (24) for several weeks. The Brazilian has suffered an injury in the right thigh and is missing for around three weeks, García is operated on the weekend due to a meniscal tear in the left knee. The Spaniard is not available for four to six weeks.
Due to the months of failure of DFB keeper Marc-André Ter Stegen (33), ex-national coach Hansi Flick is only available to Wojciech Szczesny (35) as an experienced keeper. The Spanish U18 international Eder (18) from the 2nd team most recently helped out the number three in the matchday squad, previously his teammate in the 4. League, Diego cooking (19). García will not only miss the game against Champions League winner PSG next Wednesday (9 p.m.), but also probably also missed the Clásico at Real Madrid on October 26th.
Flick probably has to do without players with a total market value of 297 million euros at the weekend: in front of García and Raphinha, the midfielder Fermín López (22, muscle injury) and Gavi (21, arthroscopy) and left -back Alejandro Balde (21, thigh) were also out. In the latter, however, a prompt comeback can be expected. Young star Lamine Yamal (18) also indicated on Instagram that after a groin injury to Real Sociedad on Sunday (6:30 p.m.), he was able to celebrate his comeback.
