Joan Garcia
24-Year-Old
Barcelona
La Liga
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 11/22/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Garcia was brilliant for Espanyol last season, making a ridiculous 145 saves in 38 starts. He got his move to Barcelona on the back of the incredible season and now has the chance to push for the Golden Glove. He should face a far more manageable volume of shots and has a superior defensive group in front of him. Barcelona allowed 39 goals in 38 matches last season and if Garcia draws the start in 30-plus games, he should crack double-digit clean sheets.
Aims return after break
Garcia (knee) is aiming a return after the international break, coach Hasni Flick said in the press conference, according to Managing Barca.
ANALYSIS
Garcia has been back in training this week and improving well towards his return but the game against Celta Vigo on Sunday is coming too soon for the goalkeeper. He is aiming a return after the international break and will likely resume his starting role between the posts, pushing Wojciech Szczesny back to the bench.
