Barcelona suffer double injury blow with key duo set for spell on the sidelines
Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia could miss up to six weeks due to a knee injury while playmaker Raphinha will also not play for the Liga champions prior to the next international break.
Garcia, who joined Barca from city rivals Espanyol in a controversial move over the summer and has quickly established himself as the number one at the club, suffered the setback in training and will now miss a series of important games.
Raphinha sustained a thigh injury in the 3-1 win at Oviedo last night with his estimated recovery time set at around three weeks.
Barca are, therefore, unlikely to see the Brazilian in action until after the next international break.
