Eric García Returns to Training as Barcelona Resume Prep for Getafe

His likely availability gives Hansi Flick an extra defensive option while the coach manages player load ahead of a busy October schedule.

Overview

Barcelona returned to group training to restart preparations for Saturday’s LaLiga fixture with Getafe after a brief post-international break.
Eric García rejoined the session after withdrawing from Spain’s squad with a knee issue and looks likely to be available for the weekend match.
Several first-team players took part in the workout, including Wojciech Szczesny, Gavi, Gerard Martín, Gabriel Jesús, Brian Fariñas and Alejandro Balde.
Frenkie de Jong continued individual work and is expected to rejoin full training later in the week while Joan García and Raphinha remain on limited programs with knocks.
Flick plans phased reintegration of returning internationals and cautious rotation to protect player fitness as Barcelona defend their LaLiga title through a congested October.
