In addition to financial problems, Barcelona have suffered from injuries to their players this season. This time, defender Eric García was detected with a distal contusion on the femoral biceps of his right thigh. The recovery period is five weeks.
Last Saturday, in the club’s draw against Granada, the athlete felt a strong pain in the nine minutes of the second stage and had to be replaced by Frenchman Lenglet.

This is worrying news for coach Xavi Hernández, as the captain will not be able to count on Uruguayan Ronald Araújo. Both defenders, injured, will not be available in the Spanish Championship, in the Copa del Rey and also in the Spanish Super Cup, when Barça face rival Real Madrid, in the semi-final of the tournament, next Wednesday, at 16:00 (from Brasilia).
The Catalan team still does not know if the athletes will be available for the duel against Napoli, in the Europa League, which takes place on February 17.
Dutchman Frenkie De Jong also had an injury reported by Barcelona last Thursday. The player presented a strain in the soleus muscle of the left leg and is also missing.
On the other hand, the culés may have an important return soon. This is midfielder Pedri, who is also injured. The youngster is expected to return to the pitch this month.
