Eric Garcia is indeed set to be sidelined for an extended period due to a foot injury. The 23-year-old Spanish center-back missed recent training sessions, and subsequent medical tests confirmed the extent of the injury. This setback is significant for Barcelona, as it further diminishes their options in central defense, putting additional strain on their defensive resources.
According to reports from media outlet Barca Universal, Eric Garcia has sustained a plantar fasciitis injury in his right foot and his recovery progress will determine his availability. Eric Garcia is expected to miss Barcelona’s upcoming La Liga game at Rayo Vallecano.
It remains to be seen how Eric Garcia progresses in his recovery from this significant injury blow. His absence will likely test Barcelona’s defensive depth, and the team will be closely monitoring his rehabilitation to determine when he might return to the field.
