Official: Barcelona star Joan Garcia cleared after Newcastle injury scare | OneFootball

Last night’s win over Newcastle United was a statement from FC Barcelona. A thumping 7-2 victory at the Spotify Camp Nou, it ensures that Barça advances to the next stage of the UEFA Champions League and helps them cement themselves as a real contender for the European title.

However, there was an incident near the final stages of the game where Barça goalkeeper Joan Garcia went down, and it seemed as if he had been injured somehow. Moreover, he was substituted shortly afterwards, and fans of the club braced themselves for the worst.

Fortunately, that was nothing more than a simple scare. The club has officially announced that recent tests have confirmed that the 24-year-old goalkeeper has been medically cleared with no injury and is ready for selection once again.

This is great news for FC Barcelona, especially considering the fact that they still have a league game against Rayo Vallecano before the upcoming international break.

That should be great news for Hansi Flick, who will be happy to have his starting goalkeeper available at his disposal. With their attention now back towards La Liga, Barça know well enough that they cannot afford to drop any points.
