Barcelona handed massive injury boost for Athletic Club clash

La Liga champions Barcelona have this weekend been afforded some welcome positive news on the personnel front.

This comes amid confirmation that summer signing Joan García will be available to play his part in the club’s next outing.

Shot-stopper Joan has for his part been sidelined since all the way back in September, after being forced under the knife to repair a knee injury.

The 24-year-old has spent the weeks since working tirelessly towards a return, both in the gym and, more recently, back on the training pitch.

And such efforts on Joan’s part, as alluded to above, look set to imminently pay off.

As per a report from Fabrizio Romano:

‘Plan confirmed: Joan García will be available for Barcelona after the break, ready to start again.’

Barcelona’s first outing post-international break is set to come against Athletic Club, with Hansi Flick’s troops set to act as hosts in Catalunya’s capital on November 22nd.
