Barcelona has revealed on its official website that the duo Raphinha and Juan Garcia have sustained injuries that will keep them off the pitch in the coming period.

The statement clarified that Brazilian star Raphinha suffered a tear in the right hamstring, specifically in the middle third of the biceps femoris muscle, and is expected to be sidelined for approximately three weeks.

The club also announced that goalkeeper Juan Garcia is suffering from a tear in the medial meniscus of the left knee and will undergo arthroscopic surgery, with his absence expected to last between 4 to 6 weeks, depending on his recovery response.

Thus, Barcelona faces a significant blow by losing two important players from its lineup at a time when the team needs all its resources before the upcoming domestic and European challenges.
