Eric Garcia is closing in on a return to first-team action for Barcelona after recovering from a hamstring injury picked up at the start of 2022 in the draw against Granada.
The center-back has been back in full training with the team on Monday and could even be available for selection for Sunday’s derby at Espanyol, according to Diario AS.
Barcelona initially ruled Garcia out for five weeks and it’s expected he could receive the medical green light in time for the game at the RCDE Stadium.
Eric’s return will come at a good time for Xavi and Barcelona who are currently without center-backs Clement Lenglet and Samuel Umtiti due to injury.
