Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia a doubt for Saturday’s match against Getafe

Published on: 08 October 2026

Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia could miss Saturday’s match against Getafe as he continues to experience pain in his knee, according to Marca.

Garcia sustained the injury during the game against Racing three weeks ago. Although he has been training with the rest of the Barcelona squad since Wednesday and is close to making a full recovery, his involvement against Getafe has not yet been confirmed.

The decision will depend on how Garcia feels and whether the swelling around his knee improves. His availability is expected to become clearer after Friday’s final training session or on the day of the match.

If Garcia is ruled out, Dominik Livakovic is likely to start in goal. The goalkeeper was selected in the starting line-up for Barcelona’s most recent match against Sevilla.
