Overview

• Raphinha sustained a right hamstring injury and is expected to be out for about three weeks, the club said.
• Goalkeeper Joan García tore the medial meniscus in his left knee and will undergo arthroscopy, with a recovery timeline of four to six weeks.
• Both are ruled out of upcoming fixtures including next week’s Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain, with García a doubt for the Oct. 26 Clásico and Raphinha targeting a mid-October return.
• Wojciech Szczęsny is set to start in goal during García’s layoff, with Marc-André ter Stegen still working back from back surgery.
• Pablo Gavi faces four to five months out after meniscus surgery, and Barcelona do not plan an emergency signing to replace him due to market scarcity and Financial Fair Play constraints.
