Barcelona beat Real Betis 5-2, but Eric Garcia was forced off minutes before the end after feeling pain in his thigh muscles. The injury casts doubt over his availability for Tuesday's meeting with Paris Saint-Germain and for Sunday's trip to Real Madrid.
Injury late in the match
Garcia was in clear discomfort when he went off near the end. On the substitutes' bench, he appeared to be touching his right leg.
Goal before the setback
Garcia had scored Barcelona's fourth goal in the game. It was his first goal of the season.
Tests expected on 18 October
GOAL reported that medical tests are expected in Barcelona on 18 October to determine the nature of the injury and its severity.
Club statement to follow
GOAL reported that the club will then issue an official statement clarifying his condition and the likely length of his absence, should the injury require time away from the pitch.
