Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen aiming to be fit for Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid
Good news from the training ground.
Seville, Spain - October 17: Barcelona defenders Andreas Christensen and Eric Garcia are optimistic they will be fit for Sunday's La Liga match against Atletico Madrid. Both players have been sidelined with injuries but are making progress in their recovery. Christensen has already returned to training and aims to make his first appearance since September, while Garcia has been dealing with a thigh injury but is also on the road to recovery.
According to Mundo Deportivo, both players believe they will be available for Sunday's game. Sport reports that both players were in training on Wednesday as Hansi Flick focuses on Sunday's match following a midweek Champions League victory over Aston Villa. With Diego Simeone's team trailing Barcelona by just two points in the table, this match is crucial in the title race.
Barcelona manager also faces concerns over Rodri, who was substituted at half-time of Tuesday's Champions League win over Atletico due to a calf issue.
