Overview

• The goalkeeper told Movistar Plus his knee is improving and that he expects to be out about a month.
• Mundo Deportivo reports a roughly six-week absence, which would rule him out of the October 26 trip to the Bernabéu.
• That timeline would also sideline him for Girona, Olympiacos, Club Brugge and Celta Vigo, according to the reporting.
• Football España says the issue stems from meniscus damage with a projected 4–6 week recovery, citing the same Spanish outlet.
• With García unavailable for now, Szczesny is expected to continue in goal despite his recent suggestion that García might return by El Clásico.
