According to World Sports, Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia suffered a meniscus injury. The Barcelona club has not yet officially reported the injury, nor has the scope of the injury announced, and the possibility of muscle injury has been ruled out. Ferran Martínez, a permanent correspondent of World Sports, said Garcia's meniscus injury is not serious, but surgery may be required, and the club is evaluating all options, including conservative treatment.

Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia was injured in the game against Oviedo. The injury is not serious, but there is a possibility of surgery. The treatment options are currently being evaluated: he will at least miss the match against Real Sociedad, Paris Saint-Germain and Girona. Barcelona has not yet made an official announcement. If the news is confirmed, Szczesny will replace the starter and Edel Allaire will become a substitute goalkeeper.

Coincidentally, on the same day when Yamal was preparing to make a comeback and Valde also got out of the injury, the game against Oviedo injured Rafinia, and the Brazilian winger will be absent until after the international match day on October 18. And now, Joan Garcia's injury is added.

Therefore, it is Szczesny's turn to start again, and the second goalkeeper will be Edel Allaire, because Cohen, who debuted at the beginning of the season, is now participating in the U20 World Youth Championship in Chile with the United States.
