AS: Juan Garcia is ready to return to action against Bibao
6686 Sports News on November 16 According to the Spanish media "AS", Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia will return to the game against Athletic Bilbao.
It is reported that Juan Garcia is ready to return to the game due to a torn medial meniscus in his left knee. People are looking forward to whether he can return to the starting lineup and return to the high level before the injury. Sources said: "He has been feeling very good since returning to the competition field to practice." Garcia has been strictly following the recovery plan and has not rushed it. Instead, he has been playing it safe to avoid any surprises, despite initial rumors that he could return to action in early November (against Club Brugge or Celta Vigo). Now, he is ready to return to action against Athletic Bilbao.
The return of Juan Garcia is certainly exciting. In the nine games without Garcia, Szczesny conceded 17 goals. Except for a few wonderful moments, such as saving Mbappe's twelve yards in the El Clasico, his performance can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. The save success rates of the two are as follows: Juan Garcia's save success rate is as high as 83% (19 saves in 24 shots), while Szczesny's save win rate is only 64% (24 saves in 42 shots).
In addition, "Aspen" said that Juan Garcia will face a severe test after returning, especially when the team is about to face Chelsea. Just like against Newcastle United, he will once again be challenged at a high level. In fact, this was one of the reasons that prompted him to accept Barcelona's invitation: to explore his limits as a top goalkeeper.
