Barcelona Clears Joan Garcia to Face Getafe

Barcelona will have goalkeeper Joan Garcia available for its La Liga meeting with Getafe at Spotify Camp Nou on October 10, 2026, after the club confirmed his medical clearance. Manager Hansi Flick has included the goalkeeper in his squad following a knee injury that kept him out of the previous match against Sevilla. The club confirmed Garcia's availability in an official statement published ahead of the game.

His return gives Barcelona another option in goal as the team resumes domestic competition following the international break. "First-team player Joan Garcia has received medical clearance and will be available to coach Hansi Flick for today's match against Getafe CF," Barcelona said in its statement.

Garcia had missed the Sevilla fixture because of his knee problem. His inclusion in the squad makes him available for selection against Getafe, although the announcement did not independently confirm the starting lineup.

Eric Garcia has also returned to fitness and joined the squad after experiencing minor discomfort while representing Spain during the international break. He returned early from international duty but is now available for the match, according to the squad announcement reported by Yahoo Sports. Barcelona will still be without several players as Flick prepares his team for the encounter. Club captain Raphinha has not fully recovered from a minor injury sustained while playing for Brazil.

Frenkie de Jong has resumed training but is not yet ready to return to competitive action. Andreas Christensen and Roony Bardghji are also unavailable for the reigning La Liga champions, according to the squad update. Barcelona enter the match seeking to maintain their winning run across competitions. The team had won all eight of its games in all competitions before facing Getafe, according to the Yahoo Sports report.
