"There is another positive, though, in terms of the progress being made by Joan Garcia. Indeed, according to Guillem Borras Perez on Jijantes, Garcia has entered the final phase of his recovery and appears very close to making his return. The 24-year-old goalkeeper has been working on the pitch for a few days now and did some individual exercises earlier today before tomorrow's game against Elche."
"However, at the moment, it is unlikely that he will be returning for this game. Instead, a comeback is likely to take place next week when Barcelona take on Celta Vigo away at Balaidos right before the international break. Garcia had become the No. 1 starter in goal for Hansi Flick this season, ahead of Wojciech Szczesny and the injured Marc-Andre ter Stegen."
FC Barcelona face Elche on Sunday seeking a rebound after an El Clasico defeat, with Hansi Flick managing mixed injury news. Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo are available for selection, while Pedri remains sidelined. Goalkeeper Joan Garcia has progressed into the final phase of recovery, training on the pitch and completing individual exercises, though he is unlikely to feature against Elche. A comeback looks probable next week at Balaidos against Celta Vigo. Garcia had established himself as Flick's No. 1 this season ahead of Wojciech Szczesny and the injured Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and his return would strengthen the squad during a crucial period.
