Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 61552, member: 636"] Barcelona manager Hansi Flick expressed confidence in goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny after Joan Garcia sustained a knee injury. Garcia requires meniscus surgery and faces a four to six-week absence. The injury occurred during Thursday's victory over Real Oviedo. Barcelona trails La Liga leaders Real Madrid by two points. Szczesny will step into the starting role for Wednesday's Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain. The 35-year-old Polish keeper emerged from retirement last season when Marc-Andre ter Stegen suffered his knee problem. Szczesny secured Barcelona's domestic treble of La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Spanish Super Cup. Teenage winger Lamine Yamal has recovered from his groin injury and will feature against Real Sociedad on Sunday. [/QUOTE]
