Barça regains a key player after a lengthy absence

Very good news, Barça gets back a long-term injury absentee

Great news for the Catalan club: Joan Garcia is officially back to 100%. After suffering an injury at the end of September following the match against Real Oviedo, the goalkeeper followed his rehabilitation protocol to the letter and is now training without any restrictions. According to Diario AS, he feels in top form and has declared himself ready to return to action as soon as the next game against Athletic Bilbao.

Even better, the club's internal data has impressed the coaching staff: his save rate in training is reportedly 20% higher than that of Wojciech Szczesny, who is one of the most experienced goalkeepers in the squad. This is an encouraging sign that confirms the young shot-stopper's rise, determined to reclaim his place between the posts.

Before his injury, Joan Garcia featured in seven matches, keeping three clean sheets along the way, already highlighting his progress and importance in the rotation. Two months after his setback, he returns in top shape and with undiminished motivation. At a time when the club is seeking greater defensive stability, his comeback could not be better timed.
