Concern in Barcelona! Eric García still does not train 1 day before the Classic

FC Barcelona could add a new absence due to injury for Saturday's Clásico. Eric García continues to have discomfort in the abductor of his right thigh and will probably not travel with the team to Madrid, although the club has not issued a medical report related to his injury.

The one from Martorell exercised separately from the group, doing physical work without coming into contact with the ball. In principle, the '24' would also be left out of the squad list for the Classic, just like last Tuesday against Bayern Munich.

Eric felt a puncture in his thigh in the warm-up prior to Barça-Sevilla and, although the club has not confirmed his injury, he has not trained normally all week due to discomfort in the area. In principle, the Catalan would start against Seville and Bavarians, but bad fortune sent him to the stands in a key week for the Catalans.

Flick is clearing up his doubts about the XI and the call for the Classic

Luckily for Barça, Pedri González and Marc Casadó have carried out the containment job without problems and, barring a last-minute surprise, they will start again at the Santiago Bernabéu. For now, the only doubt in Hansi Flick's XI is whether Fermín López repeats or, on the contrary, Dani Olmo returns to the lineup.

The man from Terrassa only played 15 minutes against Bayern after spending four weeks in the Barça infirmary, which is why it is likely that he will stay on the Chamartín bench. Likewise, the most sensible thing is for Eric Garçia not to even enter the squad to avoid any major physical setbacks.

In addition to García, Barça will also not have Ferran Torres, Ronald Araújo and Andreas Christensen. The other two confirmed long-term absences are Ter Stegen and Marc Bernal, both ruled out for the rest of 2024/25.
