Every body: Barring any accident, Juan Garcia will return when Barcelona plays Biba at the weekend

"Daily Sports" reported that, if nothing unexpected happens, Juan Garcia will return in Barcelona's weekend match against Athletic Bilbao.

Joan Garcia underwent arthroscopic surgery for a meniscus injury in his left knee during an away game against Real Oviedo in September and has missed Barcelona's last nine games. He had been performing very well up until that point, with only one major error that didn't affect the score, and numerous saves.

Whether in the league or the Champions League, he has made many valuable saves, which prove that the club's signing of him is a good move, and his playing style perfectly fits the tactical model promoted by Flick.

According to people close to Juan Garcia, the goalkeeper feels very good and is more eager to play than before. In fact, there was no rush for him to return to the game, and his recovery followed a set timetable, using this national team match day as a reference point. With his return, Barca will hopefully regain their defensive solidity. Juan Garcia made seven appearances before getting injured, conceding five goals and averaging 0.7 goals per game. This figure is far better than the average number of goals conceded by Barcelona (1.88) in the nine games he missed (1.88 goals), with a total of 17 goals conceded in the nine games.

As he proved at Espanyol last season, Juan García is a reliable guarantee in front of goal, and he has reassured Barca fans in the first month of the new season, proving that he is technically at ease with his feet and is also an expert in one-on-one situations with his courage and positioning.

His return to the starting lineup coincides with Barcelona facing two tough tests, namely Athletic Bilbao and Chelsea. The return of Juan Garcia should help achieve two goals. The first is to compete for the top spot in La Liga, and the second is to be among the top eight in the Champions League.

Joan Garcia returns to the goalkeeper position, which means Szczesny will return to the bench. The Polish goalkeeper signed for Barcelona last season to cover Ter Stegen's injury and has filled the vacancy of Joan Garcia this season. Szczesny's performance was high and low as Barcelona won the domestic treble last season. He made 30 appearances, conceded 36 goals and kept clean sheets in 14 games.

His performance this season was not that good. It cannot be considered that the goals he conceded were all his responsibility, but he also failed to save the team and became a victim of the fragile defense displayed by the team. He made nine appearances and had no memorable performances. He performed well in El Clasico, including saving Mbappe's penalty, but that game ended in a defeat for Barca. In fact, his numbers aren't pretty at all. Conceding 17 goals in nine games, Barcelona failed to win in four of these nine games.
