Barcelona's medical team has shared promising news following the examination of defender Eric Garcia.

Details: According to JijantesFC, initial tests revealed no tears or serious tissue damage for the player.

Eric Garcia's substitution during the match was purely a precautionary measure. The coaching staff opted not to take any risks with the player's health at the first sign of discomfort, which ultimately helped him avoid a prolonged spell on the sidelines.

Eric is expected to make a full recovery during the international break and will be ready to help the team as soon as club football resumes.

It's worth noting that this season, the player has featured in 42 matches for the Catalan club across all competitions, scoring 1 goal and providing 2 assists.

Reminder: Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia was unable to finish the match due to injury.
