Barça Goalkeeper Faces Spell on Sidelines
The Spaniard had to come off at half-time against Santander.
FC Barcelona has had a perfect start to the season.
With seven wins from seven games and 33 goals, the Catalans are currently outperforming everyone. On Wednesday against Racing Santander, Barça also delivered a brilliant performance, winning 7:2.

Despite the outstanding performance against the promoted team, there is also a downside for the "Blaugrana", as first-choice goalkeeper Joan Garcia had to be substituted at half-time due to injury for Wojciech Szczesny.
"No Concerns" with Szczesny
Hansi Flick said after the match about his first-choice goalkeeper: "He had a minor knee problem. We have to wait and see what the examinations reveal."
Nevertheless, Garcia still faces the risk of missing the next few games. This means Szczesny is likely to return between the posts. Although the veteran made a blunder against Santander, Flick trusts the Pole.
"That doesn't worry me. He can do better, but that's football. He is our reserve goalkeeper, everyone makes mistakes. They scored a goal that wasn't necessary, but neither was the first one. These are things we need to work on," said the German.
