Eric Garcia will get a one game ban after red card

The Barca defender was dismissed in the 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao

Eric Garcia’s red card will force him out of Barcelona’s next game, against Getafe at Camp Nou on Sunday, 5pm. 

The Blaugrana defender will be punished on Wednesday with a one game ban, after the referee Martinez Munuera wrote that he “felled an opponent in a challenge for the ball stopping a clear goalscoring chance.” That means a one game ban.

In other cases there was the chance he could miss two games or more, meaning he’d also be absent for the game against Sevilla which follows at the Sanchez Pizjuan.

He will have some rest now, after going with Spain to the Euros and Olympics this summer. If Luis Enrique calls him up for the September international break, he will go on August 30 and return on Sep 9, two days before the game against Sevilla.
