Barcelona centre-back Eric Garcia returns to training following a spell on the sidelines with a hamstring problem.

Barcelona have been boosted by the return of Eric Garcia to training following a spell on the sidelines with a hamstring problem.

The 21-year-old has made 20 appearances for the Catalan giants this season following his arrival on a free transfer from Manchester City over the summer.

Garcia has not featured in La Liga since January 8, having picked up a hamstring problem during the 1-1 draw with Granada.

However, the Spain international has now returned to full group training, with Barcelona posting a video of the defender back with his teammates on Monday.

Garcia could potentially return to the squad against Espanyol in La Liga on February 13, while he is also in contention for the Europa League clash with Napoli on February 17.

Xavi's side currently have issues at the back, with Samuel Umtiti and Clement Lenglet both unavailable for selection, meaning that Oscar Mingueza was the team's only centre-back cover for Sunday's La Liga clash with Atletico Madrid.
