Sidelined for three to four weeks

Garcia (thigh) is expected to miss three to four weeks after suffering a muscle injury to the rectus femoris of his right thigh during Saturday's 5-2 victory over Real Betis, according to the club.

Analysis: Garcia sustained the injury after coming on at halftime against Real Betis, having replaced Gerard Martin as part of a precautionary rotation. Subsequent medical examinations confirmed a rectus femoris injury that will keep the versatile defender sidelined for several weeks, ruling him out of Tuesday's Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain and Sunday's Clasico against Real Madrid. His absence further reduces Barcelona's defensive options, particularly with Jules Kounde also ruled out against PSG due to an ankle sprain. Joao Cancelo could consequently see increased opportunities at right-back during Garcia's recovery.

Suffers quadriceps injury

Garcia suffered a quadriceps injury in Saturday's 5-2 win over Real Betis, according to LaLiga journalist Jose Carrasco.

Analysis: Garcia entered Saturday's game at the HT break as a precautionary move to give Gerard Martin some rest, and now the defender is at risk of missing time due to this injury. Further tests will be needed, but he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's PSG match in the UEFA Champions League. If so, Jules Kounde could start at right-back, though Joao Cancelo could be another option.
