La Liga: Barcelona Defender Eric Garcia Out For Five Weeks After Hamstring Injury

Barcelona:
FC Barcelona center-back Eric García will be out for about five weeks after a right hamstring injury, the LaLiga club confirmed on Sunday. “The tests carried out on Eric García this morning confirmed a right hamstring injury. He is likely to be out for about five weeks,” FC Barcelona said in a statement. The Barça defender left the field in the 54th minute of this Saturday’s game in Granada, being replaced by Clement Lenglet. Barça dropped their first points of 2022 after drawing 1-1 in Granada. The Catalans had excellent value for their 1-0 lead at the time of play, but they failed to sentence the game.

Then Gavi’s expulsion with ten minutes remaining breathed new life into the home team, and his late attack produced a draw meaning that what should really have been three points ended up being just one.

Instead, the Andalusians can celebrate a third straight league game without a loss to FC Barcelona, ​​having drawn 1-1 at Camp Nou earlier this season and won 2-1 at the same stadium in April.
