No longer suspended

Garcia is no longer suspended in the Champions League and will be an option moving forward, though he is expected to wear a protective mask due to the issue he suffered against Valencia.

Analysis: Garcia had missed the Champions League opener against Feyenoord due to suspension, giving him time to recover from the head injury suffered in a collision with Rodri during the match against Valencia. His return to availability now positions him to reclaim a role in Barcelona's starting XI, with the mask reflecting continued caution around the earlier head issue.

Suspended for UCL opener

Garcia is also suspended for Wednesday's Champions League opener against Feyenoord, giving him time to recover from his recent head injury, according to UEFA.

Analysis: Garcia was forced off in the 28th minute of Sunday's match against Valencia after a head collision with Rodri, an issue whose severity remains unclear pending further assessment. The suspension means he will not feature for the European opener regardless of how his recovery progresses, and Jules Kounde would be the leading candidate to replace him in defense during his absence. Garcia's next chance to play will come on Sunday when the Blaugranas will face Levante.
