Juan Garcia: Rehabilitation after surgery is going very well and he is expected to return to training in one month

A few days ago, Barcelona goalkeeper Juan Garcia and his teammates watched the Champions League match between the Barcelona basketball team and the Valencia basketball team. The two sat in the audience seats near the stadium. Juan Garcia, who is recovering, accepted an interview with Movistar. He revealed that the recovery from the medial meniscus surgery on his left knee is progressing very smoothly and he is expected to return to training in about a month.

■About his injury

Joan Garcia said: "We will take it step by step according to the recovery situation, but everything is going well at the moment."

Guard Eric Garcia, sitting next to him, said that he is a die-hard basketball fan: "I like basketball very much, and I will watch it whenever I have the chance, because of the atmosphere here. It's great, I hope the team can win tonight."

Hoan Garcia added with a smile: "I also like basketball, but not as crazy as Eric. This is the first time I have sat so close to the court. I really enjoyed this experience."

Hoan Garcia was injured and left the field during Barcelona's league game with Oviedo. According to Mundo Deportivo, the club does not expect him to catch up with the El Clasico against Real Madrid on October 26. An expected six-week layoff will see him miss games including Girona, Olympiacos, Real Madrid, Elche, Club Brugge and Celta Vigo.
