Garcia forced to watch from stands after knee injury while chasing ball; Szczesny stepped in

According to Mundo Deportivo, Joan Garcia had slight discomfort in his right knee. After examination, it was confirmed that there was no injury, but out of caution he will miss Barcelona's match against Sevilla, with plans to return after resting during the international break. The discomfort occurred in the knee opposite to the one that underwent surgery last season. The incident happened when he chased a ball going out of bounds and landed unsteadily due to the transition from natural turf to artificial turf on the sideline. Flick made the substitution from the touchline, with Szczesny coming on as a replacement after halftime.
