Barcelona Manager Hansi Flick Provides Updates on Eric Garcia and Frenkie de Jong After Sevilla Win**

After Barcelona’s victory over Sevilla, manager Hansi Flick shared updates on Eric Garcia and Frenkie de Jong. Eric was set to start but had to withdraw due to an issue during warm-ups, with Ansu Fati stepping in as his replacement. De Jong did not play at all, having felt discomfort during training prior to the match.

Flick offered a positive outlook on both players, stating, “We thought Frenkie could start, but he felt some discomfort. Initially, he wasn’t an option. Eric had some problems, but I hope he can be an option for Wednesday.”

When asked specifically about De Jong, Flick indicated he might be available for the Champions League match against Bayern on Wednesday. “He is not injured. He could have played today, but we decided to bring Gavi in. It was a good decision. He will be able to play on Wednesday,” he said.

According to *Diario AS*, Eric is unlikely to participate against Bayern but is expected to be fit for the Clasico against Real Madrid on Sunday at the Santiago Bernabeu.
