Barcelona have been handed some good news on the injury front with regards to Eric Garcia after he missed Tuesday’s Champions League draw with Newcastle.

The defender has undergone tests this morning and it’s been determined he simply has a minor overload and no injury, according to multiple reports.

Garcia is not yet ruled out of Sunday’s La Liga match with Sevilla, although we’ll have to wait and see whether he makes the starting XI or not.

Hansi Flick could look to rotate his squad for the match, with the Barcelona boss admitting that his team are battling fatigue.

“It’s like that at the moment. We have to rest, so the job is from the players now rest, prepare well for the next game we have on Sunday,” he told reporters after the game at St James’ Park.

“We have some days to prepare well. We have no days off, but at the end, it’s like that. It’s normal. When you play at this level with Champions League, with LaLiga, it’s normal that you have these games every three or four days.

“It’s normal and we have to adapt and we have to make things good between these days.”
