Barcelona rule Eric Garcia out for five weeks with hamstring injury

Barcelona have confirmed that defender Eric Garcia will miss the next five weeks after picking up a hamstring injury against Granada.

Garcia was forced off in the second half of the 1-1 draw and replaced by Clement Lenglet and will now spend some time on the sidelines.

The news is another blow for coach Xavi who has had to cope without a host of key players due to injury and Covid-19 since replacing Ronald Koeman.
