Eric García, doubt for Atlético: Flick won't rush him
The defender missed four matches with a thigh muscle injury and Flick will decide in the final hours whether he makes the squad for the 8 November game.
Hansi Flick is keeping a close eye on Eric García, who has a chance of making the squad for the LaLiga match against Atlético de Madrid on 8 November at the Metropolitano, according to Mundo Deportivo. The Barcelona coach will not rush any decision, and the player's availability is not guaranteed.
García suffered a muscle injury to his right thigh against Betis on 17 October, shortly after scoring a goal. The club estimated he would be out for three or four weeks, and he ended up missing four matches, including the Clásico against Real Madrid.
Yesterday he trained at the Ciutat Esportiva with six other injured players. His return will depend on how he feels in the sessions before the game.
