Hansi Flick considers resting Joan Garcia for Barcelona's match against Getafe
Summary

Barcelona is set to face Getafe on October 10, with manager Hansi Flick contemplating whether to start goalkeeper Joan Garcia. Garcia has recovered from a knee injury that sidelined him for previous matches but may not be rushed back into action due to a packed schedule ahead. Dominik Livakovic, who has performed well in Garcia's absence, could retain his place against Getafe, allowing Garcia to return during a more critical phase. Barcelona's upcoming matches include Galatasaray, Real Betis, PSG, and Real Madrid.
