Suffers thigh discomfort Garcia was forced off in the 73rd minute of Monday's 2-1 derby defeat against Girona due to muscular discomfort in his left thigh, according to Cristina Navarro from Marca.

Impact Garcia is set to undergo scans Tuesday after being forced off in the 73rd minute of Monday's Catalan derby against Girona with discomfort in his left thigh. The versatile defender was clearly in distress, grabbing at his thigh before receiving treatment on the bench. Losing Garcia would be a significant setback for the Blaugranas, as he has been the first name coach Hansi Flick pencils into his back line, and any extended absence would likely shake up the starting XI with Ronald Araujo in line for increased minutes.

Inks contract extension Garcia signed a contract extension with Barcelona until 2031, the club announced.

Impact Garcia raised at La Masia, the formation center of Barcelona, and will remain a Blaugrana for the upcoming five seasons.

Impact Garcia fractured his nose against Celta Vigo and has been playing with a mask since then. The defender suffered a new blow to the face against Alaves on Saturday which was very painful and forced him off the game at halftime. That said, this should not rule him out for Tuesday's game against Atletico, according to coach Hansi Flick, and this is good news given his importance in the starting XI of the Blaugranas this season.

Finds starting XI Garcia (nose) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Celta Vigo.

Impact Garcia was deemed eligible to play with a mask after a broken nose and returned to the starting XI immediately, earning a spot at right-back Sunay. The defender continues to earn the start this season, with 13 starts in 16 appearances this campaign.

Can play with mask Garcia (nose) is available moving forward for Barcelona since he can play with the mask, coach Hasni Flick said in the press conference, according to Managing Barca.

Impact Garcia suffered a fractured nose in the midweek clash against Club Brugge in the Champions League but is back available moving forward since he can play with the mask according to coach Hansi Flick. This is good news since Garcia will likely return to a starting role on Sunday.

Training with mask Garcia (nose) was spotted training with a mask on Friday at the Camp Nou, according to BarcaTimes.

Impact Garcia suffered a fractured nose in Wednesday's clash against Club Brugge but seems to be an option for Sunday's match against Celta Vigo since he was training in full on Friday wearing a mask. If the center-back feels comfortable playing with the mask, he should resume his starting role in the backline against the Celeste.

Nasal fracture confirmed Garcia has suffered a fractured nose and is questionable for Sunday's match against Celta Vigo pending a protective mask fitting, according to his club.

Impact Garcia suffered a broken nose late into Wednesday's UCL match and will now battle hit fitness to be an option Sunday. The defender is set to undergo a fitting for a protective mask, with that and his recovery deciding if he can play. He has started in their past five games, while starting in 12 of his 15 appearances this season, so this could force a change, with Pau Cubarsi and Ronald Araujo likely to start at center-back if Garcia is out or left on the bench.

Impact Garcia was sent to the hospital after Wednesday's draw against Club Brugge, during which the center back completed a season-high 100 passes before being forced off late in the game with a suspected nose fracture. The defender will be assessed in the coming hours to determine the extent of the issue and whether he could play with a mask for Sunday's game against Celta Vigo. If he has to miss the match against the Celeste, Ronald Araujo will likely replace him in central defense.

Bench option Garcia (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Sevilla.

Impact Garcia is back with the team after a slight knock was suffered in their midweek UCL match, with the defender recovering to be fit for a bench spot. This is good news for the club as they gain back more defenders, with Garcia starting in seven of his nine appearances this season. He will hope to return to his starting role in the defense, although he could be relegated to a rotational role moving forward, as the club has recovered injured players in the defense.
