The international break allows Joan Garc\u00eda<\/strong> to face the final stretch of his recovery with FC Barcelona<\/strong>. In an interview for the program ‘Tu dir\u00e0s’ on ‘RAC1’, the Bar\u00e7a goalkeeper, out since last September 25, opened up about his return to action, but also about the topic of the moment at Can Bar\u00e7a: Leo Messi<\/a>.<\/p> The goalkeeper opened up about his opinion on what happened in the last few hours with the Argentine ‘crack’ and his surprising visit to Catalonia<\/strong>, prior to joining his national team’s training camp in Alicante.<\/p> “Nobody expected Messi’s visit, what he did is fine. We discussed it in the locker room, but we didn’t give it much importance either<\/strong>,” the Sallent native began, referring to the stir caused by ‘La Pulga’s’ visit to the Spotify Camp Nou<\/a>. <\/p> In this regard, the Bar\u00e7a goalkeeper did not hesitate to ‘get involved’ regarding the Rosario native’s future: “I hope he can come and play with him, but I don’t know to what extent it is possible and realistic<\/strong>,” argued Joan Garc\u00eda. Beyond admitting his desire to return to the Catalan capital<\/a>, Leo and Bar\u00e7a, for now, are not keeping the possibility of a return to the team open.<\/p> The door is indeed open for a tribute at Spotify Camp Nou<\/strong>, which was postponed upon his departure from the club in 2021 due to pandemic health restrictions. In any case, there will be time for both parties to improve a relationship that has soured in recent years.<\/p> On the other hand, Joan Garc\u00eda expressed his excitement about returning with Bar\u00e7a, **after almost two months out due to a left knee injury** that forced him to undergo surgery. The ’13’ could return to goal against Athletic<\/a>, but he was clear in stating that he does not fear fighting for his place game by game.<\/p> “I am working to be the starting goalkeeper. If I get the chance to start, I will try to take advantage of it to stay in goal<\/strong>,” explained the player from Sallent. Likewise, he reiterated his respect for Ter Stegen, who must also return in December after a long period of rest.<\/p> Joan Garc\u00eda dreams of playing alongside Leo Messi<\/h2>
