Will Joan Garcia be fit to play for Barcelona vs Getafe after knee injury?

Barcelona defender Joan Garcia remains doubtful for Saturday's La Liga match against Getafe due to a knee injury. He missed the win over Sevilla and also failed to make the Spain squad for upcoming Nations League fixtures. Garcia returned to training with the team on Wednesday, but Barcelona will not rush his recovery. Hansi Flick has Dominik Livakovic and Wojciech Szczęsny available, and may opt for one of them if Garcia is not deemed ready.

Livakovic has already substituted for Garcia and has been with Croatia in their recent international break games. Garcia still has a few days to prove his fitness to Flick as Barcelona prepare to resume action following a three-week break in domestic football.
