Hansi Flick confirms Barcelona star is set to miss Bayern Munich clash.”
Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick announced on Tuesday that midfielder Eric García will miss the important Champions League match against Bayern Munich. García was set to start in Sunday’s La Liga game against Sevilla but had to withdraw during warm-ups due to discomfort in his right adductor.
Initially included in Flick’s starting lineup, he experienced issues while warming up and was taken out of the squad. Despite hopes for a swift recovery, Flick confirmed in his pre-match press conference that García will be unavailable for the Bayern match.
“Our plan was for him to play on Sunday, but he didn’t feel right,” Flick stated. “Everyone is ready except for Eric.”
This absence adds to the challenges Barcelona faces as they prepare for the crucial European clash.
