Suffers overload in hamstring

Garcia is dealing with a hamstring overload and will miss a second straight game after sitting out Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Newcastle in the Champions League, according to Javi Miguel of Diario AS.
ANALYSIS
Garcia is set for scans on Wednesday after sitting out Tuesday's Champions League draw with Newcastle due to hamstring overload. The versatile defender will also miss Sunday's showdown with Sevilla as Barcelona manage his workload with one eye on the decisive second leg against the Magpies next Wednesday. It's a real hit for the Blaugrana, as Garcia has been a locked-in starter this season, whether anchoring the back line or stepping into midfield. His absence forces a shuffle in the starting XI, with Ronald Araujo the most likely candidate to step in and hold down the defense until Garcia is back in action.

Newcastle United could attempt a move to sign Eric Garcia, according to BBC.
ANALYSIS
Garcia has struggled to play regularly at Barcelona this season, and he's keen on leaving the club at the first possible chance in order to have the same continuity he had at Girona during the 2024/25 season. Newcastle would be open to giving him a larger role, but they'd need to reach an agreement with Barca to sign the Spaniard.
