What injury does Joan García have? When will he return?

Joan García gave Barcelona fans cause for concern after he went off injured in his side’s eventual thumping of Premier League outfit Newcastle United in the second leg of their Round of 16 tie.

Wojciech Szczęsny was brought on in the 82nd minute of the game at Camp Nou after the goalkeeper went down and held the back of his leg.

At present, the player, who looks to have suffered a calf injury, will be out for two to three weeks; it is assumed he will undergo scans to determine the extent of the issue over the next few hours.

Barcelona fought against Newcastle in a game filled with goals: the first half ended 3-2 to the Catalans before they turned up the pace in the second period and eventually put 7 goals against their opponents to move on to the quarter-finals.

Now, they face either Atlético Madrid or Tottenham Hotspur in the next round.
