"This past Monday marked one month since FC Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia underwent arthroscopic surgery following the tear of the internal meniscus in his left knee, sustained against Real Oviedo. The 24-year-old summer signing, initially given a recovery window of four to six weeks, is progressing very well and is closing in on a comeback. Joan Garcia could come back vs Celta Vigo"
"Now, according to Mundo Deportivo, Garcia could be ready in time for Barcelona's La Liga game against Celta Vigo away at the Balaidos on November 8. Although he has already begun training on the pitch and completed several sessions, no risks will be taken by rushing him. As such, the Spaniard is ruled out of the upcoming game against Elche and will not return vs Club Brugge either."
"Final clearance will depend on the medical staff and a joint evaluation between manager Hansi Flick and goalkeeping coach Jose Ramon de la Fuente. Given that a two-week international break follows the trip to Celta Vigo, there remains a possibility that his return could be postponed until the Barcelona vs Athletic Club match on November 22, potentially at the renovated Spotify Camp Nou."
Joan Garcia underwent arthroscopic surgery one month ago after tearing the internal meniscus in his left knee against Real Oviedo. The 24-year-old was given a four-to-six week recovery window and is progressing well, having begun on-pitch training and completed several sessions. Barcelona will not rush his return and has ruled him out of the upcoming matches against Elche and Club Brugge. Garcia is pencilled to possibly return at Celta Vigo on November 8, but final clearance requires medical approval and a joint evaluation; the two-week international break could push the comeback to November 22.
