Joan García out for three weeks due to knee injury for Barça

FC Barcelona goalkeeper Joan García has been sidelined for about three weeks following a meniscus injury in his right knee. The injury was confirmed after medical tests at Ciutat Esportiva, which showed discomfort stemming from an incident during the last match against Racing de Santander. García did not fall but slipped near the goal, leading to precautionary substitution at halftime. The club’s medical staff ruled out surgery, indicating that this knee is not the one affected by a previous serious injury. Backup goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is expected to start in García's absence.
