Already injured for two months! AS: Barcelona goalkeeper Juan Garcia is about to return and is expected to play against Biba

"AS" reported that after two months of absence due to injury, goalkeeper Juan Garcia is about to return to the team. He is currently in the final recovery stage and is expected to return against Athletic Bilbao.

As coach Flick confirmed recently, Garcia will return to the starting lineup to replace Szczesny. Although the latter's performance was generally qualified, it was still unstable at certain moments, and Barcelona has not achieved a clean sheet since Juan Garcia's absence.

In the 9 games that Juan Garcia was absent, Barcelona's defense had frequent problems, with a record of 5 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw. But what is even more worrying is that it conceded a total of 17 goals, averaging close to 2 goals per game.

Especially in the last four games, the team has conceded 8 goals: 3 goals against Brugge, 2 goals each against Celta Vigo and Real Madrid, and 1 goal against Elche. In contrast, Juan Garcia had zero shutouts against Mallorca, Valencia and Getafe when he started, and only conceded more than 1 goal in a single game against Levante.

In fact, before the international break, Juan Garcia had basically recovered from his injury, but the club did not arrange for him to play out of caution. After two weeks of systematic training, he is expected to officially return at Camp Nou.
