MADRID, 30 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The FC Barcelona center-back Eric Garcia suffers from an overload in the external obturator of his left hip, which occurred in Saturday’s victory against Valencia (0-1), while the Frenchman suffers from an overload in the biceps femoris of his left thigh .
“The tests carried out this morning have shown that the first team player Eric Garcia has an overload in the external obturator of his left hip,” reported this Sunday the Barça entity about the player from Martorell, who left the pitch in the 42nd minute , replaced by Marcos Alonso.
In addition, the club also announced that central defender Jules Koundé suffers “an overload in the femoral biceps of the left thigh”, which also occurred in Mestalla; the French international retired from the field in the 74th minute and Gerard Piqué took his place.
Barça announced that both are out, with no estimate of time, and that it will be their evolution that marks “their availability”, although they will not be available in next week’s duel against Viktoria Plzen, the last of the group stage of the Champions League.
