Barcelona officially announced today that young goalkeeper Joan García will be sidelined for 4 to 6 weeks due to an injury sustained during recent training sessions. The club confirmed that the player will undergo regular check-ups to assess his health condition and monitor his recovery.
This absence comes at a critical time for the Catalan team, which is striving to maintain its positive results in La Liga and continue competing for domestic and continental titles.
In the meantime, Barcelona has announced the return of veteran goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny to take over the goalkeeping duties in the upcoming period, which will provide the team with defensive stability in García’s absence.
Szczęsny is expected to participate in the upcoming league matches and the Copa del Rey, in an effort to compensate for the team’s shortcomings and maintain the required performance levels.
This development reflects the challenges Barcelona is facing this season, as the team needs to rely on the experience of veteran players to cope with the absences of younger players and recurring injuries.
