Joan Garcia
24-Year-Old
Barcelona
La Liga
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 11/5/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Garcia was brilliant for Espanyol last season, making a ridiculous 145 saves in 38 starts. He got his move to Barcelona on the back of the incredible season and now has the chance to push for the Golden Glove. He should face a far more manageable volume of shots and has a superior defensive group in front of him. Barcelona allowed 39 goals in 38 matches last season and if Garcia draws the start in 30-plus games, he should crack double-digit clean sheets.
Aiming return against Brugge
Garcia (knee) is targeting a return to competition against Club Brugge in early November, according to Javier Miguel from AS.
ANALYSIS
Garcia is dealing with a knee injury that sidelined him in the last three games and will likely force him to miss the next four, including the Clasico against Real Madrid at the end of the month. The Barcelona starting goalkeeper is continuing his rehabilitation and is reportedly targeting a return against Club Brugge on Nov. 5 in the Champions League. Until then, veteran Wojciech Szczesny is expected to start in goal.
